VC’s are under constant pressure to find that next home run that will result in an IPO opportunity with results like Google, eBay or future IPO candidate Facebook. Facebook already has a pre IPO valuation of $15 billion. A VC can fund twenty companies that never see the light of day if they end up with one Facebook. That is why VC’s are always searching for “the next big thing”. Cashing out of a next big thing IPO for a VC is the equivalent of a baseball player hitting a grand slam in the bottom of the ninth to win the seventh game of the World Series.
