Lyft plans to list shares on Nasdaq and will make its IPO filing public as early as next week, according to media reports citing people familiar with the matter. The ride-hailing company values itself between $20 billion and $25 billion. The move would mean that Lyft will beat rival Uber to the public market. Uber needs several more weeks to prepare its IPO, reports Reuters. Lyft is planning to pitch its plan to investors during a two-week roadshow starting in mid-March.

    Anyone who has followed Lyft knows just how remarkable it is that this company is preparing to go public. It hasn't been three years since The New York Times was reporting it couldn't find a buyer. It seemed impossible back then that an independent ride-share company not called Uber could make a go of it. It's a reminder to question our narratives about any company, always. What will change for Lyft once it is public?

    The fact that Lyft still exists — let alone is on the verge of an IPO — is pretty incredible. Would love to read more about the slog of the past few years and how they kept executing. Can’t just blame Uber’s one bad year for this.

    The fact that Lyft still exists is a clear indication of how big the market is and how much better of a company it is than Uber. I can assure you if you are going to bet big on one of the companies, bet on Lyft.
