6 Jan 2026 · Filed
Confidential IPO filing, reported by Bloomberg. Not priced; no valuation.

Filed confidentially, not public: Bloomberg reported on 6 Jan 2026 that Discord had filed confidentially for a US IPO, working with Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan. The filing is a draft, not a priced offering, and Discord “could decide not to proceed”. No public S-1, price or listing date had been reported as of 13 Nov 2026, so Discord is still private.

Methodology & status definitions

How each row is labelled and calculated.

Closed round

A completed primary round announced by Discord or reported by the press, with the outlet named.

IPO filing

A draft registration filed confidentially with the SEC, as reported. Not an offering and not a valuation; the company can withdraw it.

Valuation ÷ run-rate

Valuation ÷ the run-rate the company stated at that round (GNF calc.). Discord has not stated a run-rate, so no multiple is shown.

What is not a separate row

Rounds before 2018. Acquisition talks (Microsoft, 2021, reported at up to $12B). Secondary-market prices and broker estimates since 2022. Any IPO valuation range until one is filed publicly.

Updates & corrections

This page stays at one address and is updated in place; the “Last updated” date above drives the citation and the dataset metadata. Corrections: hello@growthnavigatefunding.net. Informational only; not investment advice.
