Is Cleo going public?
No. Cleo is private and has not filed to go public. There is no S-1 on file.
What is Cleo's valuation in 2026?
Cleo is valued at $500M as of 2022-Q2, set by its Series C ($80M, Jun 2022). That is the last confirmed mark, not a live price — private shares do not trade continuously.
Answers are derived from the roster record shown on this page — filing status, last round and confirmed marks. Where the record is silent, the answer says so rather than guessing.
Cleo is a chatbot-first personal finance app aimed at Gen Z, combining budgeting, credit-building, and cash-advance products inside a conversational AI interface that talks to users with humor and personality. Headquartered in London with major US operations, Cleo has roughly 4M+ users and has scaled to ~$300M in annualized revenue in 2025 — growth driven primarily by its US cash-advance and credit-building business. Last priced at $500M in its 2022 Series C, the revenue trajectory implies a substantially higher mark today.
