Although the market for tech IPO offerings is being called a “s—show” in 2019, it hasn’t stopped some startups from taking steps toward going public anyway.
But thanks to market volatility at the end of 2018, as well as the government shutdown in January that put public filings on hold, 2019 as a “banner year” has started out slow. The down market has left many highly anticipated tech IPOs to be delayed, and bankers are now anticipating an inundation of IPOs in the second quarter of 2019, beginning in March.

Some of the most highly anticipated startups have made their first moves already: Uber and Lyft are dueling it out to be the first of the two multibillion-dollar ride-hailing platforms to go public.
