Hootsuite was founded in 2008 by Dario Meli, David Tedman, and Ryan Holmes. While rumors of an IPO have long surrounded the company, Hootsuite remains private. In 2020, CEO Tom Keiser said "It’ll become clear if there is a trajectory to an IPO or if there is another path. But we’re in no rush." These comments should not be interpreted to mean that the company is formally pursuing or foregoing an IPO.
