    Huge IPO rounds aren't the main problem.

    The real issue is runway and valuation.

    Slack, Anaplan, Tesla and Beyond all have incredibly high price/sales ratios with negative free cash flows.

    They are burning cash to grow. It will take them a long time to grow into their current valuations. But they only have a limited amount of cash.

    Now it only takes one ten bagger to make up for a multitude of stocks going to zero, but I don't see how any of this is sustainable in the next recession, as everything is overpriced.
