The IPO filing by Lime provides a new investment opportunity in the micromobility sector, potentially attracting investors interested in growth despite current losses. The success or failure of Lime's IPO could influence future public market appetite for similar startups, especially given the cautionary tale of EITC.
Lime, an electric bike and scooter rental startup, has filed for an initial public offering (IPO) with the United States — United States Securities and Exchange Commission. The company, incorporated as Neutron Holdings Inc. and backed by Uber, reported growing revenue of $886.7 million in 2025 but also widening net losses of $59.3 million. Lime aims to list on Nasdaq-100 under the ticker 'LIME' at an estimated $2 billion valuation. This move follows years of preparation and previous valuations, including a sharp drop from $2.4 billion in 2019 to $510 million in 2020. Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase are leading the offering. The IPO will test investor sentiment towards growth-focused companies in the short-term rental category, especially considering the past bankruptcy of competitor EITC.
