The initial stockholders of Fitbit paid 37 cents a share. They were pretty happy on the floor of the Exchange. The CEO made $700 million that day.

It is noteworthy that Fitbit, unlike many tech startups, actually made money prior to the public offering. I believe it was $120 million in profits in the previous 12 months.
