In well over 200 deals that I did DD for I have seen exactly zero IPOs (this is Europe though, in the US it may well have been a different mix).
On my own investments (quite a few by now; > 20) I've seen one big exit, one smaller one but still successful, and a number of acquihires. Besides the ones that crashed the remainder is still in play and probably will be so for years to come. And probably there will be one more big exit in there, I don't expect any of them to IPO.
