Here are key things to know about Reddit:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Valuation<\/a>: <\/strong>Thursday’s opening debut has valued Reddit<\/a> at $9 billion, with the company and its selling shareholders raising $748 million. This is below the company’s $10 billion valuation after its 2021 funding round.<\/p>\n

Profitability<\/a>:<\/strong> The 19-year-old company has just over $800 million in annual revenue, making it extremely small by the tech industry\u2019s standards. Its $9 billion remains far below the $1.2 trillion market value boasted by Meta Platforms \u2014 whose biggest social media service Facebook was started just 18 months earlier than Reddit.<\/p>\n

The company posted combined losses of $436 million from 2020 through 2023.<\/p>\n

The majority of the company’s revenue comes from ads as its communities of users post and discuss everything from history to stocks and AI, making it a valuable platform for some advertisers.Leadership changes: <\/strong>Reddit has gone through instability in leadership. Cofounders Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian exited the company in 2009, only to return in 2015 after Ellen Pao resigned as chief executive amid a user backlash over a ban imposed on several communities and the sacking of Reddit\u2019s talent director. Huffman, 40, is now CEO. <\/p>\n

Other early investors in Reddit included PayPal cofounder Peter Thiel, actor Jared Leto and rapper Snoop Dogg.<\/p>\n

AI push:<\/strong> Reddit recently struck a deal with Alphabet’s Google unit to license its data for training large language models \u2014 the technology behind generative AI applications like Gemini. The contract is worth about $60 million per year,<\/a> as per reports.<\/p>\n
