Anything that even you could squint and look like a biotech was suddenly the hottest thing in the world. So Genentech goes public in the fall of 1980. This is well before Humulin, the product that they create with Eli Lilly, comes on the market. They go public, and it is, I believe, the largest venture-backed IPO ever at that time, until it's eclipsed two months later when Apple goes public.
