Travel-tech Firm Navan IPO Raises USD 923 m
Categories: Corporate and M&A
Founded in Israel in 2015 by Ariel Cohen and Ilan Twig, Palo Alto-based travel-tech firm Navan, Inc. raised approximately USD 923 million, giving the company a valuation over USD 6 billion, and is to be listed on Nasdaq.
Navan’s IPO marks a striking revival for a company that came close to collapse in 2020, when the pandemic brought global business travel to a halt.
Formerly known as TripActions, it evolved from a travel-booking platform into a comprehensive provider of corporate payments, expense management, and entertainment-booking solutions.
Cooley acted for the company and Fenwick & West for the underwriters.
