The rule, however,&nbsp;doesn&rsquo;t&nbsp;mean that staff&nbsp;can&rsquo;t&nbsp;ask questions or require amended filings later.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Navan declined to comment to TechCrunch about its updated IPO documents.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The going thought was that the shutdown would cool and possibly freeze an IPO market that had just started to thaw. Even with this rule, many companies would rather get a green light from a staffer than go it alone, sources told Bloomberg. So the tech world will be watching how Navan&rsquo;s gambit fairs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Navan&rsquo;s updated filing shows the company plans to sell&nbsp;30 million shares, with insiders selling an&nbsp;additional&nbsp;7 million. It priced its range at $24 to $26.&nbsp;At the high-end, the company would raise more than  $960 million and be valued at $6.45 billion. Navan is backed by Lightspeed, Andreessen Horowitz, Zeev Ventures, and Greenoaks. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Navan generated rolling 12-month revenue of $613 million (up 32%), with losses of $188 million, according to the updated filing.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-techcrunch-inline-cta\">\n<div class=\"inline-cta__wrapper\" readability=\"5.3\">\n<div class=\"internal-linking-related-contents\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jobuzo.com\/en\/12-weeks-jail-for-school-it-support-technician-who-took-upskirt-videos-of-teachers\/\" class=\"template-1\"><span class=\"cta\">News :<\/span><span class=\"postTitle\">&lt;div&gt;12 weeks' jail for school IT support technician who took upskirt videos of teachers&lt;\/div&gt;<\/span><\/a><\/div><p>Techcrunch event<\/p>\n<div class=\"inline-cta__content\" readability=\"24.75\">\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-cta__location\">San Francisco<\/span><br>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-cta__separator\">|<\/span><br>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-cta__date\">October 27-29, 2025<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><sub>Navan plows ahead with IPO during shutdown, aims for $6.45B valuation&nbsp;<\/sub><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Corporate travel management company Navan &mdash; once known as&nbsp;TripActions &mdash; filed updated&nbsp;IPO documents&nbsp;with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission&nbsp;on Friday,&nbsp;even though the federal government is currently shut down.&nbsp;&nbsp; Navan is&nbsp;proceeding&nbsp;under&nbsp;new SEC rules&nbsp;that&nbsp;allows&nbsp;wanna-be&nbsp;public companies that are in limbo during the shutdown to file&nbsp;updated&nbsp;information,&nbsp;including share count and pricing, and have their statements automatically&nbsp;okayed&nbsp;in&nbsp;20 days without staff scrutiny.&nbsp;Once&#8230;<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-wrap\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jobuzo.com\/en\/navan-plows-ahead-with-ipo-during-shutdown-aims-for-6-45b-valuation\/\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &ldquo;Navan plows ahead with IPO during shutdown, aims for $6.45B valuation\u00a0&rdquo;<\/span> &raquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8646,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8645","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jobuzo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8645","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jobuzo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jobuzo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jobuzo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jobuzo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8645"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/jobuzo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8645\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jobuzo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8646"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jobuzo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8645"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jobuzo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8645"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jobuzo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8645"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
