The Israeli company has developed an enterprise guidance and engagement platform that enables website owners and software developers to create interactive on-screen guidance.

Israeli digital adoption SaaS company WalkMe has filed a revised prospectus with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for an IPO on Nasdaq, which reveals details of the planned offering.

WalkMe will sell shares at between $29 and $32, raising a total of between $268 million and $296 million, which could rise to between $308 million and $340 million, if the underwriters exercise their options within 30 days. Assuming the underwriters do exercise their options, then WalkMe's valuation after the IPO will be between $2.4 billion and $2.7 billion. WalkMe's last financing round in 2019 was completed at a valuation of $1.9 billion.
