When a private company lists shares of stock on the stock exchange, it means that they have gone public by way of an IPO (initial public offering). In simple terms, when a company takes the IPO path it gives them a way to not only raise more cash, but it is also a way for them to increase their brand awareness. Here are some of the hottest IPOs right now.
(1) Instacart:
By now, it’s difficult to imagine that anyone has NOT heard of a ‘little’ company called Instacart. Founded in 2021, Instacart has been a godsend to many during this pandemic time with their store-to-door deliveries from not only grocery stores, but also from pharmacies and other retail establishments. Going forward, we find it difficult to imagine life without Instacart. Look for Instacart to go IPO sometime in the first part of 2021.

(2) Nextdoor:
Every day, people in neighborhoods around the world turn to the service Nextdoor to found out everything from finding a local handyman to the best restaurants and upcoming events. Nextdoor started serving communities in the US in 2011, and they plan to roll out their initial public offering sometime in 2021.

(3) Bumble:
Move over, Match and Tinder, and make room for Bumble. This relatively new online dating site was founded in 2014 by, surprisingly, former Tinder employee Whitney Wolfe Herd. The Bumble online dating model is unique in that it calls for the female to ‘make the first move’. As of July 2020, Bumble had a reported 100 million registered uses. Bumble plans on making their initial public offering sometime in early 2021.

(4) Stripe:
PayPal. It’s not the only online payments processing company in town anymore. Founded in 2010, Stripe is an attractive option to merchants scrambling to find a viable way to grow their online businesses, especially during this pandemic time. INTERESTING FACT: Stripe was bolstered in 2011 by a sizeable multi-million-dollar investment from the founders of PayPal, one of whom was Elon Musk.

For anyone looking to dive into the stock market in 2021, these are four companies with upcoming initial public offerings to keep an eye on. Their potential is tremendous.
