Sagoon’s IPO: How To Invest?

A study suggests – if one has investments equal to $100 in one of the world’s leading taxi services ‘Uber’ in 2010 than that amount now equals one million dollar value. Yes, it’s a big opportunity in itself even to be able to invest in the IPO of start-up company says the company. Similarly, Sagoon Inc is also now moving ahead in the global market carrying the same opportunity.

Now Nepalese from all over the world are now investing in the Social network, Sagoon’s IPO. But many are still confused regarding Sagoon’s IPO closing coming November 30. The company has also considered people’s thinking wisely before deciding to invest in it as correct.

The company currently is now doing a lot of work lately to establish its social network widely. The company has offered Sagoon’s IPO from America to aid that particular task. Also, this will also help financially in increasing the number of Sagoon users, adding new features and starting a mobile app for Sagoon.

People can now easily invest in Sagoon via debit and credit card. America made laws for start-up companies only enabling them to offer this service relating to its IPO starting from 2012.

‘It’s risky to invest in us, but people can make $100000 from $100 after three years only by investing in a company like ours’, Giri added,‘But we have urged people time and again not to invest in their future depends on the invested money. It’s good to invest much after calculating the risk which they can handle. The company can also go down.’
