IPO$174M IPO, +9% debut

Uber-Backed Lime Prices IPO at $25, Pops on Nasdaq Debut After Years of Delay

Lime, the Uber-backed scooter and e-bike rental company, priced its Nasdaq IPO at $25 per share on June 30 — the midpoint of its $24-$26 range — selling 6.96 million shares to raise $174 million at a $1.6 billion valuation. Shares jumped about 9% in their first hour of trading July 1 under ticker LIME, capping years of on-again, off-again public-listing speculation for the micromobility company.

Lime Rings the Nasdaq Bell at $25 as Uber-Backed Scooter Giant Reaches $1.8B Market Cap

Lime — the world's largest shared micromobility operator, formally Neutron Holdings — priced its Nasdaq IPO at the $25 midpoint on June 30 and begins trading July 1 under ticker LIME, raising roughly $174-182M at a $1.63-1.8B market cap. Uber, which owns a meaningful stake and operates Lime bikes and scooters through its ride-hail app, is a key backer testing whether the scooter category still has a public-market future after Bird's bankruptcy.

BIG TECHPartnership ends

Waymo and Uber Quietly End Their Phoenix Robotaxi Partnership

Waymo robotaxis are no longer bookable on Uber's app in Phoenix, ending a nearly three-year partnership in the city where the deal began. Both companies framed it as a planned contract expiration -- Waymo has folded the vehicles back into its own Phoenix fleet, available through the Waymo app, while Uber is preparing to name a new autonomous-vehicle partner in the market. The split lands as the two firms prepare to compete head-to-head in London.

OpenAI Poaches Uber's India Chief to Lead Its Biggest Market Outside the US

OpenAI has hired Uber's India head to run its operations in the country, signaling how seriously the company is treating India -- its largest user base outside the United States. The move pairs a frontier AI lab with a seasoned local operator as OpenAI races to convert massive Indian usage into revenue and entrench itself before rivals.

IPO~$200M target

Uber-Backed Lime Files to IPO on Nasdaq as 'LIME' After $886M Revenue Year

Neutron Holdings, the parent of micromobility operator Lime, has filed to go public on the Nasdaq under the ticker 'LIME,' targeting roughly $200 million in proceeds at about a $1.8 billion valuation. Lime crossed $886 million in revenue in 2025 with positive free cash flow, but warned of 'substantial doubt' about continuing as a going concern without the raise.
