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.

Searches like 'When Will Waabi IPO? CEO Says No Rush, No SPAC' 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
Segmara takes reviewed pre-IPO allocation requests funded by Stripe USD credits from $25 ($1.00 starter credit); no allocation is guaranteed. It also publishes dated indicative reference marks across 140+ private companies. Nothing on this page is investment advice.

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risk: unofficial dates, valuations, or funding details circulating on social media or forums are frequently wrong or outdated and should not be treated as confirmation of anything.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

Yes. Start from $25 ($1.00 starter credit available) in USD portfolio credits via Stripe with no password required, or select a listing across 140+ private companies on Segmara to submit a pre-IPO share allocation request.
