Understanding the Dotcom Bubble: Causes, Impact, and Lessons
The tech bubble (commonly known as the dot-com bubble) last burst in March 2000. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index peaked on March 10, 2000, before beginning a prolonged, multi-year decline that erased nearly 80% of its market value by the time it bottomed out in October 2002.
The collapse reshaped the technology sector and the broader economy through several specific phases:
  • The Peak: Between 1995 and its peak in 2000, heavy venture capital investment in internet-based startups with little to no profit caused the Nasdaq to skyrocket by 600%.
  • The Crash: The speculative bubble popped when venture capital dried up, forcing countless unprofitable dot-com startups into bankruptcy.
  • The Aftermath: By October 2002, the Nasdaq had plummeted 78% from its peak. Many companies, such as Amazon, Priceline, and eBay, survived the crash, while others like Pets.com completely dissolved.
