Differences between Investing vs Trading
Kahoot (stylised as Kahoot!) is a global learning and engagement platform that was founded in 2012. The app was designed for social learning and was the brainchild of a joint project between the Norwegian University of Science & Technology and three entrepreneurs, Johan Brand, Jamie Brooker and Morten Versvik.
The app, which was officially launched in 2013, is primarily used in schools and educational settings. It provides a series of user-generated quizzes and learning games that can be accessed with the Kahoot website or mobile app. As of 2019, Kahoot had over 1.2 billion users in over 200 countries.
The Kahoot share price became of interest in 2019 when the company began trading on Oslo’s Euronext Growth junior bourse. As of 2021, Kahoot moved to the main Oslo bourse following a second IPO, or as it was called, re-IPO.
The Kahoot share price opened at less than 15 in 2019. This followed multiple funding rounds from private investors, including Northzone and Microsoft Ventures. In Kahoot's Series A funding round, Microsoft Ventures was one of the lead investors, contributing $4 million. As a Kahoot shareholder, Microsoft now has a seat on Kahoot's board of directors.
With over $325 million in private investment secured by 2018, Kahoot shares were first made available to the public via the Euronext Growth junior bourse in 2019. At that time, the company was valued at $1.5 billion.
Between 2020 and 2021, the platform’s user base grew by more than 40%. This prompted a move to the main Oslo bourse. Backed by SoftBank and with a valuation of $7 billion, Kahoot shares eventually went onto the Oslo bourse in 2021. This listing caused the Kahoot share price to spike in 2021 and reach over 100. A bearish period followed, but it remains one of the leading online learning platforms in the world, which is why Kahoot shares are still traded at a high volume.
Why trade Kahoot shares? As a listed company, you have the option to buy stock or trade the Kahoot share price. Buying stock means you’re investing in the company and, therefore, have a direct stake in its fortunes. When the Kahoot share price rises or falls, your investment will mirror those movements.
When you trade Kahoot shares, you’re speculating on price movements. This means you don’t own the underlying asset. This allows you to take a long position and profit if the Kahoot share price increases. Alternatively, you can take a short position and profit if the Kahoot share price falls.
