SFMerc: Dwindling public companies means big changes in the valley

"The number of public companies in Silicon Valley fell for the eighth consecutive year in 2008, to 261. Forget the inflated dot-com peak of 417 in 2000. It's also below the 315 the valley had in 1994, when the Mercury News started keeping track."

"From 2001 to 2008, there have been 90 IPOs in the valley, an average of 11 annually — and the last one was more than a year ago. Compare that with 331 IPOs in the years from 1990 to 1998, an average of 41 annually. The two years in between were so insane — producing 163 IPOs — that it's no use considering them for sake of comparisons."
