Discord IPO: Digital chat platform files confidentially to go public, says report

Discord Inc. confidentially filed for an IPO, joining the quickly expanding pipeline of tech listings supported by venture capital, as per reports.

According to Bloomberg, the San Francisco-based chat app firm is collaborating with JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. on a listing in March. According to a December announcement, Discord, a popular site among programmers and gamers, has over 200 million monthly users.

The persons, who asked not to be named because the material is confidential, stated that discussions are ongoing and the company may decide not to move forward with a listing. JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs representatives declined to comment.

A Discord representative declined to comment further, stating that the company's priorities continue to be providing the greatest user experience and developing a robust, long-lasting business.

As the US market for first-time share sales picks up steam, the IPO would join a list of possible tech company listings. Asia-based travel app developer Klook and AI-enabled fleet management software company Motive Technologies Inc. are among the businesses listed with the SEC for potential initial public offerings.

Discord was established in 2015 and provides text, audio, and video chat features. While its paid Nitro subscription offering offers better streaming and customising, its fundamental platform is free to use. Despite the fact that it was designed with gamers in mind, users have developed servers that cover a wide range of subjects, including beatboxing, investing, and community radio.
