The Nasdaq is an electronic marketplace for buying and selling securities. Its name was originally an acronym for the “National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations”. Nasdaq started as part of the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), now known as the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). Nasdaq was created after the Securities and Exchange Commission encouraged NASD to create an automated market for securities not listed on an exchange. The result was the first electronic trading system. Nasdaq opened in 1971 as the first electronic trading system. Nasdaq began to operate as a national securities exchange in 2006.

An IPO is an initial public offering, in which shares of a private company are made available publicly for the first time, allowing a company to raise equity capital from public investors. Companies must meet specific legal, governance, and accounting requirements imposed by the securities exchanges and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to conduct an IPO. Companies hire investment banks to market the offering, evaluate investor demand, and set the IPO price.
