Discord is Discussing an IPO

 

Discord — the  largely popular conversational app with over 200 million yearly users—might be gearing up for a major step: going public. According to The New York Times, the company is in early conversations about an original public offering (IPO), though nothing is set in gravestone just yet.

Sources say Discord is in exploratory addresses with investment bankers, but plans are still in the early stages. A disharmony  prophet, when asked about the rumors, responded with the usual commercial  station they “ do not comment on  enterprise. ” (TechCrunch first reported this statement.)

Why is Discord considering an IPO?

This is n’t the first time disharmony has allowed for going public. Back in 2021, it famously turned down a $10 billion buyout offer from Microsoft, choosing to stay independent  rather. Since then also, the company has only grown stronger, securing a $14.7 billion valuation after raising $500 million in backing that same time.

Several factors contribute to Discord’s renewed interest in an IPO:

• Strong profit Growth  disharmony has been making serious  plutocrat through its Nitro subscription service and new tools that allow  inventors to monetize their content.  

• Expanding Beyond Gaming  While firstly  erected for gamers, Discord has  set up a home in crypto communities, education, and indeed professional collaboration, making it a more  protean platform than ever  ahead.  

• AI Boom & Innovation  It’s not just a  converse app  presently — Discord has come a major  mecca for AI communities, with platforms like Midjourney running directly on its servers. 

Potential Impact of a Discord IPO

For Gamers and Users

• Further backing could mean new features and advancements. But there’s concern that Nitro subscription prices could go up or that advertisements might start appearing on the platform. 

For Developers

• Disharmony might invest further in third-party bots, API advancements, and inventor tools. But as an intimately traded company, it could face stricter content temperance rules due to increased scrutiny.

For Investors

• Still, a Discord IPO would be one of the biggest tech  rosters of the time — a rare chance to invest in a fast-growing social media company, if it happens. Still, competition from Slack, Microsoft brigades, and other conversational platforms could pose challenges.

What’s Next?

Still, it  probably wo n’t be until late 2025 if Discord does decide to go public. But given the  changeable stock  request and nonsupervisory hurdles, the company may take a  conservative approach before making any big moves.
