As of September 27, 2026, Motive does not have an active IPO filing: it withdrew its S-1 registration statement. CNBC reported on December 23, 2025 that Motive had filed for an initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol MTVE. Business Wire reported on September 10, 2026 that Motive secured more than $1.3 billion in growth financing from General Catalyst's Customer Value Fund and, as a result, withdrew that previously filed S-1 registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC EDGAR covers only US filings). Business Wire's report stated Motive remains well positioned to pursue a public listing in the future, without giving a new date, valuation, or renewed filing. No subsequent S-1, F-1, or other registration statement has been reported. Track SEC EDGAR and Motive's own statements directly, not secondary chatter, for any renewed filing.

Key points
A filing, then a withdrawal
CNBC reported on December 23, 2025 that Motive had filed for an initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol MTVE. Business Wire's September 10, 2026 report later identified that filing as an S-1 registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission; SEC EDGAR covers only US filings.
Less than nine months later, Business Wire reported on September 10, 2026 that Motive withdrew that S-1. The withdrawal followed Motive securing more than $1.3 billion in growth financing from General Catalyst's Customer Value Fund, according to the same report.
What the financing changed
Business Wire's September 10, 2026 report tied the two events together directly: Motive secured the growth financing from General Catalyst's Customer Value Fund, and as a result withdrew its previously filed S-1. The report did not disclose new terms for a future offering, a revised valuation, or a specific timeline.
The same report stated that Motive remains well positioned to pursue a public listing in the future. That is a forward-looking statement in the announcement, not a new filing or a confirmed date.
What to track next
No S-1, F-1, or other registration statement for Motive has been reported since the September 10, 2026 withdrawal. A renewed filing on SEC EDGAR, or a specific date from Motive itself, would be the next verifiable signal that a listing process has resumed.

Searches like 'When Will Motive IPO? It Withdrew Its S-1 After a $1.3B Raise' are research questions: what a filing or a company statement confirms, what has only been reported, and what is still unknown.
What counts as a listing step
For an IPO, the primary record is a registration statement filed with the securities regulator of the listing market, such as an S-1 or F-1 on SEC EDGAR for a US listing. Funding rounds, valuations and secondary-market prices are context, not listing steps.

How a company reaches a US listing
The SEC filing trail
DraftThe company can first submit a draft registration statement (DRS) for confidential SEC review.
S-1 or F-1The registration statement goes public on SEC EDGAR: Form S-1, or Form F-1 for many foreign companies. A company that used a draft must file publicly at least 15 days before its roadshow.
AmendmentsS-1/A or F-1/A amendments answer SEC comments, and one of them adds the expected price range.
PricingOnce the SEC declares the registration effective, the company sets the price with its underwriters and files the final prospectus, usually a 424B4.
First tradeThe shares start trading on the exchange named in the prospectus, such as Nasdaq or the NYSE.

Risk notes
Rumor risk: unofficial dates, valuations, or funding details circulating on social media or forums are frequently wrong or outdated and should not be treated as confirmation of anything.
Illiquidity risk: any private-market interest, indicative marks, or pre-IPO share arrangements in a company that has not listed can be difficult to exit and may not reflect a tradable price.
Timing risk: a company can pause, restart, or abandon IPO preparation at any stage, including after a confidential or public filing, so no step before pricing guarantees a listing.
