Reddit’s IPO Filing Is Missing Something: Cofounder Alexis Ohanian
Reddit, the popular online forum and social media platform, recently filed for its initial public offering (IPO). However, many people have noticed that one key figure is missing from the filing: cofounder Alexis Ohanian.
Ohanian, who cofounded Reddit in 2005 along with Steve Huffman, has been a prominent figure in the company’s history. He has been a vocal advocate for internet freedom and free speech, and has played a key role in shaping Reddit’s community-driven ethos.
It is unclear why Ohanian is not included in Reddit’s IPO filing, as he is still listed as a cofounder on the company’s website. Some speculate that he may have distanced himself from the company in recent years, especially following his decision to step down from the board in 2020 in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.
Regardless of the reason for his absence from the IPO filing, many Reddit users and fans of the platform are disappointed by the oversight. Ohanian’s contributions to Reddit and the broader internet community are undeniable, and it is surprising to see him left out of such a significant moment in the company’s history.
