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.

Search intent

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.

Segmara role
