, the U.S. online mattress retailer whose investors include actor Leonardo DiCaprio and rapper 50 Cent, is seeking to hire underwriters for an initial public offering , according to people familiar with the matter.
New York-based Casper, which was valued at $920 million in its latest private fundraising round in 2017, is planning to interview investment banks in April to hire underwriters for its IPO, the sources said, asking not to be identified because the matter is confidential.Launched in 2014, Casper is one of a string of online mattress retailers, such as Purple, Nectar Sleep and Tuft & Needle, that have squeezed the industry's old players.
Led by its co-founder Philip Krim, Casper made its name by selling one"universally comfortable" type of memory-foam mattress, as opposed to offering different firmness options and designs. It now sells three different types of mattresses. If it goes ahead with the IPO plans, Casper would be the latest high-profile consumer company to debut in the stock market this year.
