In 2021, there was a real IPO boom - according to Bloomberg, over the previous year, more than 2.8 thousand companies conducted initial public offerings and raised over $600 billion in the process. Both of these indicators became record highs for the stock market.

Bloomberg named American electric vehicle startup Rivian as the most successful IPO of the year. During its initial public offering, the company raised $12 billion and was valued at $77 billion.

We're talking about global companies that have announced plans for initial public offerings in 2022.



Reddit
Reddit is one of the most popular sites in the world, combining the functions of a social network and a forum. The platform has more than 1.2 billion monthly visitors.
The site is not tied to a specific topic: its users join a phone number list community where they create threads and participate in discussions.

Reddit is also widely known for its community members sometimes "raising the noise" in the stock market, affecting the value of companies' shares.

For example, in January 2021, participants in one of the discussions began to massively buy shares of the game retail store GameStop and increased their value by 881%. Another striking example was the case of MicroVision - the value of their securities increased by 10 thousand percent from the beginning to the end of April 2021 .

Reddit was founded in 2005 by Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian. In 2006, the platform was acquired by magazine publisher Condé Nast, at which time the number of unique visitors to the platform per day hovered around 70,000.
