An initial public offering (IPO) occurs when a privately held company owned by a founder CEO, venture capital, or private equity firm first sells shares to the general public. Public company stocks are listed on exchanges such as NYSE (New York Stock Exchange), NASDAQ, LSE (London Stock Exchange), and TSX (Toronto Stock Exchange). IPOs are typically led by investment banks who make a market for the initial offer. They require review and approval of financial regulatory agencies such as the US SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission).
