Public IPO

Public Holdings was founded in 2017 by Jannick Malling, Matt Kennedy, Peter Quinn, and Sean Hendelman. The company has not publicly endorsed a plan to participate in an IPO. These comments should not be interpreted to mean that the company is formally pursuing or foregoing an IPO.

Public is an American investment app that allows users to buy stocks on an accessible, low-friction platform. The company has grown rapidly as consumer demand for financial management services continues to expand, reporting a 700% increase in funded accounts in 2021. In 2022, Public acquired HyperCharts, a financial data visualization platform, and Otis, an investment marketplace for "alternative assets." Public has raised more than $300 million in venture capital funding from investors including Tiger Global, Vine Capital, MANTIS, Lakestar, Greycroft Partners, Accel Partners, and Inspired Capital Partners. The company is valued at $1.2 billion.
