Discord – De Chat – app with more than 200 million monthly users – is conversations with IPO, the New York Times at an early stage report. Discord’s discussions with investment bankers are still exploratory and plans can change, according to the sources of the NYT.
Discord understands that there is a lot of interest in the future plans, but does not comment on rumors or speculation, a spokesperson told Techcrunch.
This is not the first time that Discord is approaching an IPO.
The startup based in San Francisco ran away from a purchase of $ 10 billion by Microsoft in 2021 because it considered staying independent and becoming public.
Discord was last appreciated at $ 14.7 billion in a fundraising of 2021 for $ 500 million.
Discord is especially popular in certain communities such as video games and crypto, but it has also emerged as an unlikely center for the AI Boom, with image generation companies such as Midjourney that are active on his server.
