Ask HN: Are we in the new dot-com bubble of crazy IPOs (2021 edition)?

1 pointsby ribtoksover 3 years ago
Accordingly to some public data, in 2021 we have enoumeous number of IPOs, including such companies as:<p>- HashiCorp<p>- GitLab<p>- Transferwise (now Wise)<p>- Reddit<p>- Udemy<p>- Duolingo<p>- Couchbase<p>- UiPath<p>- Coinbase<p>- Coursera<p>- DigitalOcean<p>- Roblox<p>and also &gt; 1000 lesser known companies (or at least, lesser known to engineering community). There were 480 IPOs in 2020, 232 in 2019.<p>This makes me think: are we about to see the 2000s bubble crash soon or it&#x27;s different this time?
