Minute Media is an Israeli media and technology startup focused on platform and content. The company is exploring the possibility of going public, reported Bloomberg. If it does it may get a $1 billion valuation from its IPO.
Minute Media’s platform serves as the company’s foundation, powering its content as well as enabling the evolution of other market-leading digital media brands. The IPO news comes just a few months after Minute Media formed a partnership with WynnBET, the casino and sports betting app created by Steve Wynn’s Wynn Resorts.
Bloomberg cited “people familiar with the matter” as saying that Minute Media is working with Goldman Sachs Group Inc. on a plan to go public as soon as this year. The IPO would be with a special purpose acquisition company, SPAC.
