Discord is a communications company that provides a versatile platform for voice, video, and text chat, serving as a primary hub for gamers, programmers, and diverse digital communities. The company is dedicated to creating a space where everyone can find belonging, focusing on delivering a seamless user experience while building a sustainable business model to support its global user base.

Discord has reportedly filed confidentially for an initial public offering, adding significant momentum to a rapidly growing pipeline of venture capital-backed technology listings. The company is working with Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and JPMorgan Chase & Co. to lead the planned listing. With more than 200 million monthly active users, the move marks a major milestone for the platform as it transitions toward the public markets.

Discord, headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States, was founded in 2015 by Jason Citron and Stanislav Vishnevskiy. In 2018, the company joined the unicorn club. Since its launch, the company has grown from a niche gaming tool into a mainstream communication powerhouse, quickly achieving unicorn status through successive rounds of private funding.
