The Stunning Rise of Snapchat

The California based company is worth between $20bn and $26bn which indeed is the largest United States floatation since the Chinese e-Commerce giant Alibaba listed 2 years ago

Apparently, Snap the parent company of the messaging app Snapchat began in 2012 as a mobile app that allowed users to send photos that vanish within seconds and now has over 100million daily users which is more than Twitter. Importantly, if it goes ahead, it would be the biggest US technology floatation since Facebook $81bn launch in 2012.

However, Snap chat has impressed by rolling out features after features to the platform- all executed seamlessly.

In September, it re branded itself as Snap and earlier this month debuted its video-camera sunglasses called Spectacles

In point of fact, we can now categorically state that Snapchat is now an attractive proposition for investors and it is very much  likely to price higher than  the extraordinary Google's $23bn debut in 2004.
