A bit more about Tempus...
'June 5 (Reuters) - Tempus AI, backed by Japanese tech investment firm SoftBank Group, is targeting a valuation of up to $6.10 billion for its U.S. initial public offering, nearly three years after the genetics-testing company laid the ground for its listing.
The listing of the company, which is led by e-commerce marketplace Groupon (GRPN.O)co-founder Eric Lefkofsky and is yet to be profitable, will test investor appetite.
Tempus, which confidentially filed for an IPO in September 2021, is aiming to raise as much as $410.7 million by selling 11.1 million shares at a price range of $35 to $37.
Chicago, Illinois-based Tempus' net loss widened to $289.8 million in 2023 from $214.1 million a year earlier, while total revenue jumped 65.8% to $531.8 million.
The company was founded in 2015, about a year after Lefkofsky's wife was diagnosed with breast cancer. Tempus sells genomics diagnostics tests across oncology and other areas, including neuropsychiatry, radiology, and cardiology to clinicians and hospital systems.'
