Conversation: Navan plows ahead with IPO during shutdown, aims for $6.45B valuation Crunch

A: Hey Yuki, heard anything exciting today?

B: Not much, just the usual work stuff. What's up?

A: Navan, remember that travel company we talked about before? They're going to try an IPO!

B: Really? Isn't the government shutdown making it hard for companies to go public?

A: Yeah, but they found a way! They can file updated info without staff scrutiny for 20 days. If everything goes well, they can start their roadshow soon.

B: That's interesting. So, they plan to sell 30 million shares and insiders another 7 million. The price range is $24 to $26, which would raise over $960 million if successful!

A: Exactly! And they have some big names backing them like Lightspeed, Andreessen Horowitz, Zeev Ventures, and Greenoaks.

B: Wow, Navan generated $613 million in the last 12 months but lost $188 million. Quite a risky move!

A: Definitely! Let's see how it goes. It could be a big deal if it works out!
Summary
Navan travel company plans IPO amidst government shutdown. Filing updated info without staff scrutiny for 20 days enables them to start roadshow soon. They aim to sell 30 million shares and insiders another 7 million, priced between $24 to $26. This could raise over $960 million. Notable backers
