If things pick up again in Q4, it's a safe bet that some other big name companies will also go public next week. There have also been a number of technology companies that have already filed to go public among the 11 that have done so include Sea, Switch, MongoDB and CarGurus. Many tech stocks did well in Q3, and then there was also the successful Roku IPO in September. The news hasn't been all bad lately, though. However, things slowed down considerably in Q3, likely thanks to Blue Apron and Snap, two big companies, both of which underperformed. Some very well known startups, including Cloudera, Mulesoft, Okta, and Yext, all went public in the first half of 2017. At first, it seemed like it was going to be even better than 2016, and the second half of last year had already looked like a turnaround after 2015 - which was considered the worst year for IPOs since 2009. The tech IPO market has been up and down this year.
