Electric scooter and bike-sharing startup Lime filed for an initial public offering, reporting 29% year-over-year revenue growth. The company generated $886.7M in 2025 revenue but posted a net loss of $59.3M.

Lime's IPO filing reveals the micromobility company's financial trajectory as it scales operations globally. Revenue grew from $686.6M in 2024 to $886.7M in 2025, while net losses expanded from $33.9M to $59.3M—a widening gap as the company invests in expansion. The San Francisco-based startup was valued at $510M in 2020, significantly lower than valuations it likely commands today. The IPO filing demonstrates investor interest in the micromobility sector despite ongoing profitability challenges. Lime operates in dozens of cities worldwide, competing with rivals like Bird and Voi. The company's ability to achieve profitability remains a key investor question as the IPO process unfolds.
