Pinterest in Talks with Bankers Ahead of Initial Public Offering

Recode: Pinterest, the search and discovery startup valued at $12 billion, interviewed some bankers last week hoping to underwrite its initial public offering. That’s a sign that the nearly 9-year-old startup is finally preparing to go public this year. Pinterest is expected to decide on its lead bankers soon, although some people close to the company believe that Goldman Sachs has had the edge.
