Good timeline, the one commonality though during the NYtimes chart is that money was cheap(low interest rates). At the start of their timeline - 2011, fed interest rates were 0 and stayed that way until 2015, they then creeped up slightly hitting a peak in 2019(2.5). Rates then went back to 0 due to the pandemic[1]. In addition trillions of dollars were created out of thin air and that contributed alot to funding during the pandemic.
What kept rates artifically low was inflation was also low, now that inflation is skyrocketing the fed has signaled that rates are also going to jump. This is really bad for growth companies and you can see for yourself by looking at stock prices on a 6 month timeline(from today) and see the huge drop in valuations($sq, $roku, $afrm, $pypl ...) I expect these valuations to tumble by the summer even further as rates increase.
