Five months into 2017 nine venture-backed technology companies have gone public compared to 14 in 2016. The IPO market in 2017 seems to be very healthy and is on pace to be twice as active as last year. Four consumer companies and five enterprise companies have popped on average 29% since their IPO pricing.

Starting in 2017, revenue recognition for SaaS companies will change, and SaaS startups will have more flexibility in the way they record revenue than in the past. Public companies must transition to these new regulations starting in 2017. Private companies have the option to migrate to these new standards in 2017.

I went through my archives and found this post from 2017 that showed that the most expensive stock at the time was Veeva at 11.7x If the valuation environment mirrors 2017, CloudFlare’s multiple would halve again. In 2017, the average company traded at 5.4x Today, CloudFlare tops the list at 22.2x.

In 2017, there will be a lot of comparison between the prices public bound companies fetch at IPO compared to the last round private valuations as the public window opens. Given all that change, which early round will be the hardest to raise for founders in 2017? So, which is the hardest round to raise in 2017?

After the correction earlier this year, public valuation multiples had reset to those of 2017. Before this announcement, US venture-backed software M&A was tracking to its worst year since 2017, at about $7b, down from $71b last year. Congratulations to team Figma on building their impressive business.

This trend started in 2014 and has continued through the first quarter of 2017. The anomaly in 2017 is due to an outlier. Only one company has raised two seed rounds so far in 2017, qualifying it into this dataset. These two forces in opposition netted a 10% increase in total dollars in 2016.

In 2017, the industry migrated from ASC 605 to ASC 606, which are financial arcana as esoteric as it reads. If that argument is correct, then the average gross margin of a software company in the public domain would fall from 72% to 47%. Quite a stark difference. Profitability for software companies isn’t straightforward.

The point is that SaaS multiples are still higher than where they were from 2010-2017. Draw a straight line and assume multiples gradually expand at the same rate as they were growing from 2017-2019. The Bear Case: Multiples are still elevated compared to the pre-2018 period. It just went nuts during Peak Covid.
