The comatose market for initial public offerings — memba’ those? — is finally showing a heartbeat again.

The number of companies going public has hit a semi-respectable pace of 30 in the second quarter after only eight companies went public in the first quarter. That’s an improvement, but 104 companies had already gone public by this time last year, and for the full year 170 companies went public, according to Renaissance Capital, manager of IPO-focused exchange traded funds.
