Ryde to launch $200m IPO

The riding app has appointed SAC Capital as financial advisor for the IPO to be listed through Catalist.

Singapore riding app Ryde is preparing to launch a $200m valuation through an initial public offering (IPO) slated for 2022.

The IPO will be listed through SGX’s Catalist. The company has appointed SAC Capital as financial advisor for the IPO.

The IPO is part of Ryde’s preparation to capture 30% of the ride-hailing market in Singapore by 2023. Part of the IPO could include plans for its top drivers to receive bonuses and shares upon completion.

Ryde achieved record growth in revenues and turned profitable in Q4 2020. The company saw over 30% YoY growth of users on its platform in the last quarter of 2020, underscoring a shift in consumer sentiments and preferences for an alternative ride-hailing option in Singapore.

Ryde presently counts over 10,000 monthly active drivers in their network and has facilitated over 16 million bookings in its app.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
