Is Otter.ai going public?
No. Otter.ai has no imminent IPO plans on record. It is still private.
What is Otter.ai's valuation in 2026?
Otter.ai is valued at $500M as of 2021-Q1, set by its Series B ($50M, Feb 2021). 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.
Otter.ai was an early leader in automated meeting transcription, joining calls as a bot to take notes and surface action items. Faces intense competition from Fireflies, Granola, and built-in features from Zoom and Microsoft Teams, but maintains a strong base of 1M+ daily users across SMB and enterprise.
