That sounds right to me. Why sell off equity when you can borrow the money you need? There's a hell of a lot of money out there willing to take risks for what used to be considered a mediocre rate of return.

That's not an option for startups. Their choice is whether to sell equity to public or to private investors.

The ones that are borrowing the money are private investors.

Until interest rates start going up, at which point things could get a bit messy.
