June 23, 2021 — Eyewear retailer Warby Parker has announced it has confidentially filed to go public. 

The company announced on Tuesday that is has confidentially submitted a draft registration statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) relating to the proposed public listing of its Class A common stock. The public listing is expected to take place after the SEC completes its review process, subject to market and other conditions.

Launched in 2010 by classmates at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, Warby Parker started as an online eyewear retailer. In 2013, it broke from its online-only model and has since launched brick-and-mortar stores across the U.S. and several in Canada.

Following its most recent funding round last year, the company is valued at $3 billion.
