There has been a lot of talk about a bubble in tech over the past two years, and it's gotten a little louder in the last six months. While I'm not convinced we're in a bubble it does seem like we're in the 7th inning and I would expect to see some pretty big vaporization's in the next two years. While nobody wants to be a part of a failure they are obviously inevitable and a healthy part of any market.
With that said it's almost a little refreshing to see two very hot start-ups who had both reached billion or close to a billion dollar valuations closing their doors. Aereo recently filed for Chapter 11 and rumors are the Fab is in talks to be acquired for somewhere around $15 million (they we're valued at $1 billion not too long ago). I do not think this is a sign of impending doom in the technology sector but rather a natural outcome that we should expect to see in any free market. While news of both companies demise had been reported for several months it is interesting that everything is crystallizing in the same week.
