Groupon Value: 11 Companies Worth Less Than Groupon (SLIDESHOW)

Groupon, the daily deal company that has spawned thousands of competitors, made its long-awaited public debut on the Nasdaq Stock Market on Friday.

According to Reuters, Groupon raised $700 million in its IPO, the biggest initial public offering by a web company since 2004, when Google raised $1.7 billion.

From the Associated Press:

On Thursday, the company priced its IPO at $20 per share. That was above its expected range of $16 to $18. It gave Groupon a market value of $12.7 billion, above only Google's among tech companies. With Friday's stock price jump, Groupon's value rose to $16.76 billion.
