  1. Wonder Group files confidentially for US IPO

    Wonder Group Inc., the food-delivery and restaurant startup founded by Marc Lore, has confidentially submitted a draft registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for an initial public offering of its Class A common stock. The filing marks a major step toward the public markets after the company spent more than $1 billion acquiring Grubhub, Blue Apron and other brands, reaching a valuation around $9 billion. Number of shares and price range have not been disclosed.

    Why it matters

    Wonder has assembled a portfolio of delivery, meal-kit and ghost-kitchen assets since its 2018 launch, raising over $3 billion in private funding. A successful listing would end a five-year drought for restaurant-technology IPOs and test investor appetite for a hybrid model that combines food halls, last-mile logistics and prepared-meal subscriptions.
