Toast IPO[edit]

Toast, Inc. has entered an S-1 Filing with the Securities Exchange Commission (Toast, Inc IPO Investment Prospectus S-1 (sec.report)) to begin the process of an IPO. Reports from Bloomberg (Toast Files for IPO; Restaurant Ordering Firm Seeking $20 Billion Valuation - Bloomberg) and Forbes (3 Reasons To Invest In Toast’s $20B IPO (forbes.com)) show Toast is seeking a 20 billion USD valuation. Now that a prospectus has been filed, a ticker symbol has been announced and the company has stated which exchange they'd be trading on, I think it might be worth mentioning in the article. I could be completely off-base here, which is why I'm putting this here rather than just making the sweeping edit.

I do think it's worth mentioning in the article. However, that Forbes article is actually by a contributor and thus not a reliable source, so we shouldn't use it. The Bloomberg article would be a good source for the article though, and we could link the S-1 in a new External Links section. Gbear605 (talk) 16:15, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That's totally fair. I don't feel qualified to make the changes as I am a former employee, so I may not be able to keep up Wikipedia's standards of objectivity in this case.
