An initial public offering (IPO) is the first sale of stock that the company issues to the public, commonly referred to as "going public." Most companies complete this process by filing S-1, F-1, or 1-A with the Securities & Exchange Commission and then raising capital through an underwriter simultaneous to their listing on a major exchange such as Nasdaq or NYSE.
