Espresso-charged IPO: Luckin Coffee to set a new world record

Super-charged Chinese coffee chain is set to be the first company to list on a stock market only two years after it was founded. But it's cash-burning strategy implies more funds will be raised afterwards.

Luckin Coffee, the Chinese coffee chain that aims to challenge Starbucks in its home market, will set a world record as the first startup to list at a billion-dollar valuation only two years after it was founded. That is, if it is able to complete its up to $510 million US initial public offering later this month.
