Online-polling company SurveyMonkey surged as much as 67 percent in its trading debut after raising $180 million in its bigger-than-targeted U.S. initial public offering.

Shares of SurveyMonkey, the operating name of Svmk Inc., closed up 44 percent at $17.24 Wednesday in New York. That price lifted the company’s market value to about $2.1 billion, topping its $2 billion valuation in a 2014 private funding round.
