2014 feels like ages ago, doesn't it? But in the world of finance, it's a treasure trove of interesting IPOs. Several companies took the plunge into the public market that year, some soaring to success and others fading into the background. Remember the buzz around GoPro (GPRO)? They went public in 2014, riding the wave of action camera popularity. Zendesk (ZEN) also joined the ranks, offering customer service software solutions that continue to be relevant today. Hortonworks, a big data platform company (later merged with Cloudera), was another notable IPO from that year, highlighting the growing importance of data analytics. While not every IPO from 2014 became a household name, examining their performance offers valuable insights into market trends, investor sentiment, and the enduring power of innovation. It's a great reminder that the IPO landscape is ever-changing, and success is never guaranteed. Did you invest in any of these 2014 IPOs? What are your memories of the market that year?
