A CEO on the NYSE floor, not an S-1
Huntress, a Columbia, Maryland-based cybersecurity company that serves small and mid-sized businesses without a dedicated 24/7 security team, has become a fixture on IPO-watch lists. Crunchbase News reported in January 2026 that its own predictive-intelligence tool, which scores companies using funding history, growth signals, investor mix, and market timing, rates a Huntress IPO 'probable'.
That is a model output, not an announcement. Co-founder and CEO Kyle Hanslovan was interviewed on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange in late October 2025, where he discussed the company's growth rather than a listing plan. Being physically near the exchange, or scoring well on a third-party predictive model, is not the same as filing paperwork with the SEC.
What the last funding round actually shows
Huntress's most recent disclosed capital raise is a $150 million Series D, announced June 18, 2024 and led by Kleiner Perkins, Meritech Capital Partners, and Sapphire Ventures, at a valuation Crunchbase News reported as above $1.5 billion. Crunchbase puts the company's total funding at nearly $310 million since it was founded in 2015 by Kyle Hanslovan, Chris Bisnett, and John Ferrell.
No newer primary round has been publicly reported since June 2024. Hanslovan told reporters in late October 2025 that demand for Huntress's products had only increased as generative AI helps scammers craft more convincing phishing attacks, and that the company was on track for $185 million to $190 million in revenue for the year, a 60% year-over-year growth rate. That is a revenue trajectory, not a listing step.
A 2025 prediction that didn't happen
In September 2024, a citybiz article described Huntress as having hit $100 million in annual recurring revenue 'ahead of likely IPO in 2025', a headline built on momentum rather than any company statement. As of the latest site review, no such 2025 listing occurred, and no S-1 or F-1 has since appeared on SEC EDGAR.
That gap between prediction and filing is exactly the pattern this site's own risk notes warn about: unofficial dates and momentum-driven headlines are frequently wrong or premature. Until Huntress itself files a registration statement or an executive states a timeline, any specific 'Huntress IPO date' remains speculation, however well the company scores on a predictive model.
