Developer security startup, Snyk, valued at $7.4 billion, is not rushing to go public despite hitting $300 million annual recurring revenue (ARR).
CEO Peter McKay says the company has $435 million in the bank, expects to be cash flow positive in 2025, and will choose the right time for an IPO.
McKay believes regulatory conditions will improve next year, but sees 2026 as a more favorable time for Snyk to go public.
Snyk plans to continue acquiring smaller firms in the developer security space, while AI-generated code with vulnerabilities presents growth opportunities for their security tools.
