1. IPO (Initial Public Offering): a method of raising capital by selling stocks that belong to the company to the public for the first time and through a security exchange (usually with the help of an underwriter)
2. DPO (Direct Public Offering): the same as obove but with a different selling method. Instead of selling to the public through an exchange, the company sells directly to the future investors (like employees, etc) and this way does not use an underwriter
DPO contains Direct Public Offering and IPO contains Initial Public Offering
Direct Public Offering (DPO) & Initial Public Offering (IPO)
DPO=Direct Public Offering
IPO=Initial Public Offering
