The current market situation is not a bubble like 2000, as shown by the low number of tech IPOs compared to that era.
It is more of a liquidity crisis where there is a lack of access to public markets for capital, hindering innovation and growth.
The importance of functioning public markets is emphasized for AI companies with significant upfront costs and infrastructure needs.
The focus should be on revitalizing well-regulated capital markets to unlock the potential of growth companies and ensure innovation continues to thrive.
