Market volatility caused by an uncertain economy, along with strong valuations for privately held companies, has led to a <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/18\/technology\/tech-ipo-delays.html\" title=\"\">slow start for the I.P.O. market<\/a> this year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Discord was last valued by private investors in 2021 at roughly $15 billion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The people, who requested anonymity because the conversations are confidential, cautioned that the talks were still exploratory and that I.P.O. plans remained subject to change.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Other companies are preparing to go public despite growing turbulence in the financial markets. CoreWeave, a provider of cloud computing services for artificial intelligence, filed for an I.P.O. <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sec.gov\/Archives\/edgar\/data\/1769628\/000119312525044231\/d899798ds1.htm\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">this week.<\/a> CoreWeave said in its filing that it had revenue of around $1.9 billion last year and a net loss of $863 million.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Discord was founded by Jason Citron and Stanislav Vishnevskiy, two tech workers who originally came together to build a video games studio. After releasing their first title, the two hit upon the idea for Discord after realizing they had difficulty communicating with each other online while playing a game. They released the first version of Discord on desktop computers and smartphones in May 2015.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Gamers embraced the platform, which allows people to chat over text, voice and video calls inside the app for free. More than 200 million people use Discord every month, with 93 percent of them using the app to play games.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The company makes money through a \u201cfreemium\u201d model in which people can use the apps for free and pay subscription fees for upgraded features, like custom emojis and higher-quality voice and video chat. Discord does not rely on advertising to generate revenue.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In recent years, Discord has tried to expand its appeal, embracing influencers, musicians and other figures who have created their own Discord chat rooms for their fans to gather and form online communities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Discord is also starting to expand its business. The company debuted an <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2023\/10\/19\/discord-expands-online-marketplace-to-justify-15-billion-valuation.html\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener
