We’re only a few weeks into 2014 and already there is a great deal of talk about a tech bubble and the odds of it imploding this year.
A recent New York Times article observed that there are now more startups with billion-dollar valuations than at any other time in history. In the three years from 2011 through 2013, there were at least 34 venture-backed startups valued at $1 billion or above, according to Dow Jones VentureSource, compared with just 16 during the helium-filled dot-com era of 1998 to 2000.
