Has the IPO window closed?

After outperforming the rest of the field for three straight years, the end of Q2 showed a decided chill in the market toward recent biotech IPOs. Has the window of opportunity closed?

See a candid discussion on what this will mean for companies looking to fund in the future, for those still in line to IPO by year end and for those now facing the ramifications of falling share prices.
