After years of hints and preparation, the Uber-backed electric bike and scooter rental startup Lime has filed for an initial public offering.

The company, which is incorporated as Neutron Holdings, Inc., has eyed the public markets for at least five years. CEO Wayne Ting last spoke to TechCrunch in 2023 about the prospect of an IPO, noting at the time that Lime had the economics, the growth, and the profitability to take the startup public. All that was required was proper market conditions.

That day has apparently arrived.

The company intends to list on ​Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “LIME.” Lime did not share terms of the offering, which was filed Friday with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Lime’s IPO filing shows a company with growing revenue, but not yet profitability. The company generated $521 million in revenue in 2023, $686.6 million in 2024, and $886.7 million last year.

Its net losses were $122.3 million in 2023, but that line item has narrowed the past two years. Lime reported net losses of $33.9 million in 2024 and $59.3 million in 2025. Lime also reported it had free cash flow the past three years; its free cash flow was $104 million in 2025, nearly double from the previous year due to an increase in cash provided by operating activities.

And yet, the company has a significant amount of debt. Lime reported around $1 billion in current liabilities in the filing. Roughly $846 million of that is due by the end of 2026, and the company wrote that it does not have “sufficient liquidity” to pay that. (Lime reported having $261 million in cash on March 31, 2026.) As a result, the company warned investors that it has “substantial doubt” that it can continue as a going concern, and that it needs to go public to raise funds to pay that debt — or find other sources of financing.

Lime, which was founded in 2017, has deep ties to Uber. The ride-hailing and delivery giant led Lime’s $170 million funding round in 2020. As part of that deal, Lime acquired Jump, the electric bike and scooter division that Uber bought back in 2018 for around $200 million. After the acquisition Jump’s name disappeared and its assets were absorbed by Lime. In the years since, Lime has integrated more closely with Uber.

The acquisition also propelled Lime’s expansion. The company, which lets users rent scooters and e-bikes through its app, is now in 230 cities and 29 countries.

Lime’s relationship with Uber has also been a steady tailwind for the business. Under its exclusive relationship, Lime vehicles are featured as a ride option within the Uber app in nearly all of its shared markets. A chunk of Lime’s revenue — about 14.3% last year — came through its partnership with Uber, the SEC document shows.

Today is the last day. At 11:59 p.m. PT, the 50% off second pass offer for TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 ends. After that, prices go up, and the option to bring a partner, co-founder, or colleague with you at half the cost disappears.

Register now to lock in your savings. Save up to $410 on your pass and get 50% on a second pass.

You don’t just miss a discount, you lose a second perspective

Disrupt isn’t a single-track experience. It’s multiple conversations happening at once. Sessions overlap. Introductions lead to something else an hour later. Patterns only become clear after you’ve seen the same idea from different angles.

When you go alone, you see only part of it. When you bring someone, you see more, and more importantly, you understand more. You compare notes in real time, challenge assumptions, and make decisions while the context is still fresh. Get a discounted second pass now.

You and your plus-one will have access to:

• A direct line to founders, VCs, and operators.

• 20,000+ curated networking meetings.

• Deal Flow Café and investor-founder networking.

That’s not a small difference. It’s the difference between leaving with ideas and leaving with direction for your next steps. And after tonight, that second perspective costs more. This is your last day to save 50% on a second pass. Choose your tickets.

You don’t just miss access, you fall behind on the conversations

From October 13–15 in San Francisco at Disrupt, the startup world will be in the same place at the same time, turning conversations into capital, ideas into companies, and connections into trajectories. They’ll be trading signals, testing assumptions, and deciding what matters based on what they’re seeing in real time.

When you act now to secure your pass — and a second at 50% off — you’ll be in the room while those decisions (and discussions) are taking shape.

Across 250+ sessions, you’ll explore real-world playbooks (not theory), covering:

• Scaling and growth strategy.

• Venture capital and fundraising.

• Hardware and emerging technologies.

Those conversations don’t pause when the event ends. They carry forward into follow-ups, deals, partnerships, and decisions made in the weeks that follow.

If you’re not there, you’re not just missing the event. You’re reacting later to conclusions other people reached sooner. Buy a pass to Disrupt today and get a second one for 50% off to be a part of the conversations.

You don’t just miss clarity, you extend uncertainty

Knowing you have a strong idea isn’t enough. You need clarity on where to take it, who to partner with, and how to fund it. Without that clarity, decisions stall. Roadmaps stretch. Opportunities sit just long enough to lose momentum.

Disrupt compresses that uncertainty. You see how decisions get made — onstage, in roundtables, and in conversations that build on each other over three days.

Better outcomes come from:

Miss that window, and you’re back to piecing together secondhand insight, slower feedback loops, and decisions made without the same level of context.

This is your final day to get a second pass for 50% off. Register now before prices increase at 11:59 p.m. ET tonight.

You don’t just miss this offer, you change how you show up

After tonight, you can still attend Disrupt. But you’re more likely to go alone — and that changes the experience.

It means choosing between sessions instead of covering more ground. Processing everything yourself instead of testing it in real time. Following up later instead of leaving with shared clarity.

That’s the real cost. Not just paying more, but also getting less out of being there. Lock in your 50% savings on a second ticket to show up more intentionally.

This is the moment to decide

Only hours remain to buy a pass to Disrupt and get a second for 50% off. The offer ends tonight at 11:59 p.m. PT.

Right now, you can still:

• Bring a co-founder, operator, or partner.

• Cover more of what matters.

• Make decisions faster, with more confidence.

• Leave with alignment instead of open questions.

After today, that advantage is gone.

Register before tonight at 11:59 p.m. PT

Buy one pass to Disrupt and get 50% off the second of the same ticket type. Decide who you’re bringing — and secure your passes before midnight tonight. Because missing this isn’t just about price. It’s about showing up with less context, less coverage, and less clarity than the people who didn’t wait.

If you’re planning to raise a Series A in the next 12 to 24 months, the rules you think you’re playing by may already be outdated.

Series A isn’t just harder — it’s slower, more selective, and increasingly unforgiving. The bar has shifted, and many founders are still optimizing for a version of the market that no longer exists.

At TechCrunch Disrupt 2026, taking place October 13-15 at San Francisco’s Moscone West, one session on the Builders Stage cuts directly into that gap, led by some of the VCs shaping the next funding cycle: The Series A in 2027.

This isn’t a retrospective. It’s a forward-looking breakdown of what it will actually take to raise in the next funding cycle and who will get left behind. Get your passes to Disrupt and join this session live. This offer to buy one, get one at 50% off ends tonight at 11:59 p.m. PT.

Get ahead of Series A changes

The window between building and raising has stretched. Metrics that once signaled readiness are being questioned. Teams that would have been fundable two years ago are now getting passed over. And in many cases, founders don’t realize it until they’re already in the market.

This session is designed to correct that before it costs you time, leverage, or your round.

What “fundable” actually means now

The definition of a “fundable” company is being rewritten in real time. In this session, you’ll get a direct view of how top investors are recalibrating:

• What traction actually signals readiness, and what no longer does

• How expectations around growth, efficiency, and capital have changed

• What product and GTM milestones matter heading into a raise

• Where AI is raising the bar and where it’s distorting signals

This is practical information you can use right away. It reveals how decisions are being made right now and how they’ll be made when you go out to raise. Secure your ticket to Disrupt to learn what it takes (now) to raise.

What you’ll walk away with

The goal of this session is simple: clarity. You’ll leave with a sharper understanding of:

• What metrics you should actually be building toward.

• How to structure your team ahead of a raise.

• What signals investors are prioritizing — and what they’re ignoring.

• How to position your company in a more selective market.

And just as importantly, you’ll learn what to stop optimizing for. Because in this environment, doing the wrong things well doesn’t help; it sets you back. Buy your pass to Disrupt before prices increase.

Where this fits at Disrupt

This session is part of the Builders Stage lineup at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026, where sessions are built around execution, not theory. This is where founders go to pressure-test their strategy, recalibrate their assumptions, and get answers they can actually act on.

If you’re thinking about raising in the next one to two years, this isn’t optional. Get this wrong, and you don’t raise. Or you raise later than planned, with less leverage, under more pressure. Get it right, and you separate from the pack — before you ever start pitching.

That’s the difference this session is designed to create. Register now to save 50% on two passes and to attend the Series A in 2027.

The Series A market is changing faster than most founders are adapting. You can figure that out mid-process — or you can understand it before you ever start.
