For the most part, technology companies avoided the public markets in 2015, with the help of large private funding rounds that totaled $51 billion, CB Insights said. That’s more than six times the $8.26 billion raised in U.S. tech and Internet public offerings in the year — the widest divergence since at least 2000, according to data from CB Insights and Bloomberg.
