Yeah, so I've got to first of all credit Rebecca Springer, who is formerly with Pitchberg and now is with Bailey and Company, who just does outstanding industry reports. And so I was looking at her post JP Morgan report and would credit her with this because I think she does a very nice job of putting things together.
And I'm more or less just going to crib some of some of her feedback from JP Morgan that we're also hearing in chatter. So Overall, I think we're all looking at a more active deal market this year than last year, although I'm not sure that we're necessarily going to see anything gangbusters, but I think we're expecting an upward trajectory in volume.
Some of her observations are that companies are really growing into the multiples they traded at in 2021 and are ready to transact.
And I think some sponsors who anticipated higher pricing are ready to kind of capitulate somewhat and accept a slightly lower multiple and are ready to trade because it's really just time to move some of those older vintage companies out of the portfolio and kind of move on for a respectable transaction.
She did know also that the number of processes that were launched at JP Morgan was not particularly high, but overall pitch activity is up. And then finally, just in the growth stage technology ecosystem, many lower quality companies traded or folded over the past year. And as a result, the quality of companies that are coming to market are up on average.
So expecting some good quality transactions in the healthcare tech space.
um and then of course some some ai announcements and some ai activity expected this year as well so overall we are excited cautiously optimistic and somewhat excited for the year and hoping for a a good year of deal making no absolutely fasting so so a lot going on out there big changes at the ftc um yeah and fasting because lena khan's gonna go down as a fasting person to watch
