Jeff Bezos Says Blue Origin Likely to Pursue IPO in Coming Years

Billionaire founder Jeff Bezos said that Blue Origin LLC is likely to seek an initial public offering (IPO) in the coming years after completing its first round of external financing worth billions of dollars. Speaking at the company's Florida facility on Wednesday, Amazon co-founder Bezos told reporters, 'I now see the financial prospects for Blue Origin more clearly.' He added that going public would be reasonable at some point after this funding round but would not happen within a few years.
