Unlike many cash-burning startups of the previous era, Ethos enters the public market with a proven track record of profitability. For the nine months ending September 30, the company generated nearly $278 million in revenue and $46.6 million in net income. The IPO is expected to raise $102.6 million for the company, while selling shareholders will liquidate shares worth about $108 million.

A High-Profile Roster of Backers

The company’s cap table reads like a 'who’s who' of Silicon Valley and Hollywood. Major backers include Sequoia, Accel, and Alphabet’s GV. Interestingly, early rounds were fueled by family offices of stars like Will Smith, Robert Downey Jr., and Jay-Z. While the current valuation is a step down from its $2.7 billion peak in 2021, the profitability milestone is what makes this IPO viable in today's cautious market.
