Here are a few things to know about the Slack IPO.

  • Slack has announced that it has made a confidential filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission concerning its public offering.
  • This comes in the form of a draft registration statement on Form S-1 and includes its planned listing details for its Class A stock.
  • However, the details of this filing are still unknown due to its confidential nature.
  • What we do know is that it doesn’t look like Slack will be favoring a typical IPO.
  • Instead, it seems like the company is planning to go forward with a direct listing of its stock.
  • A direct listing is rare, but it has been done before by Spotify (NYSE:SPOT).
  • An inside source says Slack is going this route because it doesn’t need the publicity or cash from a normal IPO.
  • It’s also still unknown when exactly the Slack IPO will take place.
  • All the company says in its press release is that it will start after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission competes the review process.
