There’s not much more exciting for a startup company than reaching the point where it can conduct an initial public offering (IPO).
But shares’ over 600% surge on the first day of trading and the biggest IPO of 2023 could add to that excitement. That’s what happened to golf club maker Sacks-Parente Golf Inc., which sent Wall Street crashing with its initial public offering in August.

Do not miss:
Sacks-Parente Golf makes high-quality golf putters with proprietary technology that the company says helps golfers make more putts. Sacks-Parente has designed its putters with special weighting and other features that supposedly allow golfers to keep their putts on the line longer, which translates into lower scores. The price for the Sacks Parente putters is around $400, which is on par with products from well-known manufacturers such as Scotty Cameron and Odyssey.
Sacks Parente shares opened the trading day with an offering of 3.2 million shares at $4 per share. By the end of the trading day, the share price had shot up to $29. That’s a 624% increase in stock value on a tumultuous day that saw Sacks-Parente trading suspended 19 times due to excessive volatility.
Even with that in mind, the IPO made a lot of money for early buyers, but the real winners were the original investors who invested in the pre-IPO period, when shares might be available for pennies on the dollar. The success of Sacks-Parente Golf’s IPO is a perfect example of why so many venture capitalists and VC funds are so active in the startup sector. The risk is high, but the rewards are absolutely incredible when your proverbial ship arrives.
It’s rare for a blue-chip stock to post a 600% gain in one day, and even if it did, the share price would likely have been too high for most ordinary investors to begin with. In contrast, investors can become active in the startup market via equity crowdfunding platforms and build an entire portfolio of investment offerings with high profit potential for just a few cents. Thanks to the Jumpstart Our Businesses and Startups (JOBS) Act, opportunities like Sacks-Parente are now available to non-accredited investors.
There is significant risk in startup investing. But the low entry price of many offerings and the abundance of equity crowdfunding platforms mean that everyday investors have access to offerings that would never have been available to them 15 years ago.
