This is pretty awesome. Really interesting stuff on here to flick through
and @jrdngonen good to see another product you've been a part of!
Questions for the team:
How did this come about? Whats the story? And how did you collect all the info and choose to display what you have?
@bentossell – Thank you Ben! 😄
The short story behind it is that right after Snap's recent IPO we got curious and decided to check out some other IPO filings. However, most of them were (obviously) very long and unreadable. 🙄
Therefore we decided to collect data from the legal IPO filings of the biggest tech companies and provide it in a much more readable way. We got most of the financial documents from NASDAQ and then extracted data from those. We focused on the most relevant statistics, as well as interesting quotes from the documents. 📝
Hey PH! 😻
Sebastian here. This weekend, Jordan, Henry and I decided to put up a directory of the biggest tech IPOs. 💰
For some backstory, following Snap’s IPO we realized how unreadable the legal fillings really are and therefore we decided to do something about it. We researched the most valuable tech IPOs and cherry-picked data with the goal of displaying it in a sexy way.
We really hope you like it and we’re super open to feedback!
Leave your thoughts in here 🚀
Cheers,
Sebastian
@sebyddd maybe it will be good to add the date of IPO for this line:
* Stats are from time of IPO (2015)
Because people will be surprised when see that Apple valuation is $101.2M :D
But on the 1980.
Congrats on the launch 🚀 @sebyddd@jrdngonen@kaufmanhenry 👏 It's really interesting to understand the IPO filings from famous companies.
Btw, @sebyddd I found your easter egg 😉
