Discord has confidentially filed for an IPO in the U.S., marking a significant step for the Tencent-backed platform, which has evolved from a gaming chat app to a major communication tool with over 200 million monthly users. The company is collaborating with Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase for the listing, although it may still opt not to proceed. This move follows a leadership change, with Humam Sakhnini as the new CEO. The filing coincides with a resurgence in the U.S. IPO market, as more venture-backed companies prepare to go public.
