Where's the Exit?

Venture-backed startups are scratching their heads looking for the liquidity EXIT. M&As and IPOs are unheard of these days. Last year the M&A EXIT was the rage. Is the liquidity drought going to slow the innovation cycle down? TechCrunch posted on the liquidity drought today. IMO - the liquidity drought, at least in the short-term, is a good thing. I think it will force startups back to the "business basics" earlier in the startup process. Forcing startups to think about the basics like - when will we turn a profit?
