March 19, 2024

Reddit, the self-proclaimed “front page of the internet” is on track to price its IPO on Wednesday post-close, and begin trading on the NYSE on Thursday, March 21, under the ticker RDDT.

Reddit was last valued privately at about $10 billion during the 2021 tech boom when it raised a Series F round at $61.79 per share.
