According to a report by the New York Times, Discord has a chat app with over 200 million users each month that offers IPOs and early stage talks. According to NYT sources, discussions with Discord's investment bankers are still exploratory and could change plans.
Discord understands there is a lot of interest in the plan, but has not commented on rumors or speculation, a spokesman told TechCrunch.
This is not the first time I have thought about an IPO.
The San Francisco-based startup thought it was independently public, leaving Microsoft's $10 billion purchase in 2021.
Discord was valued at $14.7 billion in funding in 2021 at $500 million.
Discord is particularly popular in certain communities such as video games and Crypto, but it has also emerged as an unlikely center for AI Boom, as image generators like Midjourney run on servers.
