As of September 27, 2026, Waabi is a private company. SEC EDGAR lists no S-1 or F-1 for Waabi, though EDGAR covers only US filings, and no filing with a Canadian securities regulator or stock exchange has been reported either. Waabi closed an oversubscribed $750 million Series C round, with an additional milestone-based investment from Uber lifting total available capital to $1 billion, which Yahoo Finance (via FreightWaves) reported on January 28, 2026 as the largest fundraise in Canadian history at the time. On September 23, 2026, CEO Raquel Urtasun told Observer, 'We're definitely in no rush' on an IPO, and that Waabi 'can pursue a traditional IPO rather than going public through a SPAC ... Definitely no SPAC.' In the same interview, Urtasun said Waabi has a deal with Uber to deploy at least 25,000 robotaxis, and that fully driverless trucking is targeted for Q1 2027, pending Volvo's hardware validation. None of that is a filing or a confirmed listing date. Track SEC EDGAR and Waabi's own newsroom directly, not rumors or secondary-market chatter.

None of that is an IPO step. Waabi is a private company, and as of September 27, 2026, SEC EDGAR shows no S-1 or F-1 for Waabi; EDGAR covers only US filings, and no filing with a Canadian regulator or exchange has been reported.

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risk: unofficial dates, valuations, or funding details circulating on social media or forums are frequently wrong or outdated and should not be treated as confirmation of anything.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.

Can retail investors track private-company shares on Segmara?
Yes. Visitors can start with the free Waabi tracker using email only, then decide whether a private follow-up makes sense. Availability, eligibility, pricing, allocation, transfer approval, documents, and final terms can still vary by route.
Why was this market historically hard for retail investors to reach?
Private-company share access has often moved through private equity firms, venture funds, insiders, institutions, and relationship-driven secondary networks. Segmara makes the starting point simpler: visitors can follow named private-company interest before any account, document upload, or payment step.
What is the easiest next step?
Open the free Waabi tracker first. It is email-only and keeps the public step narrow while final availability, pricing, eligibility, and terms are handled only through private follow-up.
Has Waabi confirmed an IPO date?
No. As of September 27, 2026, Waabi has not filed an S-1 or F-1 on SEC EDGAR. CEO Raquel Urtasun told Observer on September 23, 2026 that the company is 'definitely in no rush' on an IPO.
Is Waabi planning to go public through a SPAC?
No. In the same Observer interview, Urtasun said Waabi 'can pursue a traditional IPO rather than going public through a SPAC ... Definitely no SPAC.'
What is Waabi's deal with Uber?
Uber made a milestone-based investment that helped lift Waabi's total available capital to $1 billion, Yahoo Finance (via FreightWaves) reported on January 28, 2026. Urtasun told Observer on September 23, 2026 that Waabi also has a deal with Uber to deploy at least 25,000 robotaxis.
Can I buy Waabi shares before the IPO?
Not through a public exchange; Waabi is a private company. Segmara does not sell, broker, or arrange purchases of Waabi shares.
