You've most likely heard about various "hot" tech-related initial public offerings in recent months/years and, as such, might be wondering what the IPO process is all about. As complex as the definition of initial public offerings seems at first glance, the ipo process tends to be quite logical and straightforward if it is explained to you properly. Through well-chosen examples, this video does just that. More specifically, it goes well beyond merely explaining the meaning of the term "IPO" and actually guides you through a hypothetical IPO process... in our case, involving a made-up company called Joe's Games. In one minute, you'll find out how Joe's Games goes from being a private company to becoming a public one through the initial public offering process. You'll understand why IPOs can be a great option but, of course what the various IPO-related cons are as well. At the end of the day, this will be yet another piece of knowledge that deserves to be in your arsenal. How or if you put it to good use is entirely up to you :)
