A decade to reach the stock market
Founded in 2017, Lime has established itself as one of the world’s largest shared micromobility operators: more than one billion trips taken on its fleet of electric scooters and bikes, spread across more than 200 cities and close to 30 countries. The company, whose parent goes by the legal name Neutron Holdings, waited nearly ten years before taking the step of going public.
