????新興公司“IPO危機”的說法可以休矣。

????2012年第一季度，有20 家由風險投資支持的公司在美國股市上市，創下2000年以來此類公司同期IPO新高。這些公司共籌集約16.3億美元資本，也是2007年一季度以來的同期新高。上市后總市值約95億美元。

????一季度由風投支持的最大IPO是ExactTarget ，這家位于印第安納波利斯的電郵營銷軟件公司上周籌集了1.615億美元，發行850萬股普通股，每股定價19美元（該股3月30日開盤價為26.49美元）。其次為Millennial Media，這家位于巴爾的摩的移動廣告平臺服務商在3月28日夜間籌集了1.33億美元，發行1,020萬股，每股定價13美元（該股3月30日開盤價為25.58美元）。

????一季度大部分IPO公司都是IT公司，但也有幾家生命科學和清潔科技公司。最大的非IT公司是總部位于馬薩諸塞州劍橋的腫瘤藥公司Merrimack Pharmaceuticals，該公司本周早些時候籌集了1億美元。

????第一季度唯一遺憾的是沒有一場像LinkedIn、Groupon或Zynga這樣的重磅IPO。第二季度隨著Facebook上市，這種狀況預計將得到改變。另外，由于最近通過的Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act法案，我們還將開始看到一系列小盤股發行。

??? It's time to throw another shovelful of dirt on the notion of an "IPO crisis" for emerging companies.

????20 venture capital-backed companies went public on U.S. exchanges during the first quarter, which is the highest Q1 number of such issuers since the beginning of 2000. They raised around $1.63 billion, which is the highest first-quarter tally since Q1 2007. The combined post-offering value was approximately $9.5 billion.

????The quarter's largest VC-backed IPO was for ExactTarget (ET), an Indianapolis-based maker of email marketing software, which last week raised $161.5 million by pricing 8.5 million common shares at $19 a piece (it opened trading today at $26.49). It was followed by Millennial Media (MM), a Baltimore-based mobile advertising platform that on Wednesday night raised $133 million by pricing 10.2 million shares at $13 per share (it opened today at $25.58).

????Most of the quarter's IPOs were for information technology companies, but there also were several life sciences and cleantech companies in the mix. The largest of the non-IT bunch was Cambridge, Mass.-based oncology drug company Merrimack Pharmaceuticals (MACK), which raised $100 million earlier this week.

????The only real negative for the quarter was that it didn't feature a blockbuster IPO, like LinkedIn (LNKD), Groupon (GRPN) or Zynga (ZNGA). Expect that to be rectified in Q2, when Facebook hits the public markets. We also could begin to see a slew of new issuance from small-cap companies, thanks to recent JOBS Act legislation.
