Silicon Valley high school makes $24million in the Snapchat IPO five years after a parent convinced it to invest $15,000 in seed money
By Associated Press and Ashley Collman For Dailymail.com21:18 +11:00 03 Mar 2017, updated 06:22 +11:00 04 Mar 2017

The private Roman Catholic school held onto the investment until this week, when Snap shares sold for $17 each in an IPO. The share price rocketed another 44 per cent higher when trading began Thursday.

The school says they sold two-thirds of their 2.1million Class A shares at $17 each, to raise $24 million. The remaining 700,000 shares that they held onto are now worth more than $17million, after the stock closed at $24.48 a share on Thursday.

'The school's investment in Snap - which this morning announced the completion of its IPO - has matured and given us a significant boost,' said the high school president, Simon Chiu, in the letter.

And to be fair Snap was not even the first in the space Instagram was but Snap became more popular.

Plenty of parallels but think of the early investors with no patience in that one!

I was reading a book and came across this quote today & thought i share a few words from William Shakespeare:

"There is a tide in the affairs of men
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows & in miseries"

Food for thought to the impatient investors ( myself included sometimes )..
