Definition of IPO
An IPO, or initial public offering, is the first time a company sells its stock to the public. It is a way for a company to raise money by selling ownership shares to investors.
- When Facebook went public in 2012, it raised $16 billion through its IPO.
- Uber went public in 2019, selling shares of its stock to the public for the first time.
These examples illustrate how companies use IPOs to raise money by selling shares of their stock to the public. Investors can buy these shares and become part owners of the company.
If the law is on your side, pound the law. If the facts are on your side, pound the facts. If neither the law nor the facts are on your side, pound the table.

Simple Definition
An IPO is when a company sells its stock to the public for the first time. It's like when you sell something you made to your friends, but instead of friends, it's strangers who want to buy a part of the company. The company has to follow rules and get permission from the government before they can do this. Sometimes, if not enough people want to buy the stock, the company can stop selling it.
Where you see wrong or inequality or injustice, speak out, because this is your country. This is your democracy. Make it. Protect it. Pass it on.
