"Reddit Gearing Up for IPO Debut in March," Report Indicates

Reddit is reportedly preparing to launch its initial public offering (IPO) in March, culminating its three-year pursuit to go public. This move comes despite the challenges faced by Reddit, such as inconsistent advertising revenue, a controversial decision to charge other companies for data access, and the fluctuations in the IPO market. If successful, Reddit would be the first social media platform to undergo an IPO since 2019. Prior to becoming independent in 2011, Condé Nast acquired Reddit for $20 million in 2006 and its parent company, Advance Publications, continues to be the majority shareholder. Despite facing numerous platform protests, Reddit has managed to attract investments from significant entities like Fidelity and Sequoia Capital.
