Have you been in touch with the world of business news lately? Especially news about start-ups.

Do you follow the ups and downs of some prominent start-ups? Start-ups with bright ideas that became unicorns as fast as a pot of hot milk raising up to the brim.

According to Investopedia, “An initial public offering (IPO) refers to the process of offering shares of a private corporation to the public in a new stock issuance. Public share issuance allows a company to raise capital from public investors.”

In the past 6 months or so, there have been few IPOs by interesting start-ups. All these IPOs have created quite a buzz and were looked forward to as the biggest tech IPOs since Facebook and Alibaba. They did stir up some debate-worthy morning news when they went public. But all was not smooth as silk. Wall Street experts and investors have had their own takes on these IPOs and some are asking “Was it too soon to shell out shares?”.
