Online payments company Bill.com is in the process of meeting with investment banks to select underwriters for an IPO just months after raising $88 million in fresh funding, according to two people familiar with the meetings.
The company was last valued at $1 billion in April and its investors include Franklin Templeton and JPMorgan.
It's not yet known which banks Bill.com has chosen and the timing of the IPO remains unclear, the people said.
Bill.com did not respond to a request for comment.
Founded in 2006, Bill.com sells payment processing software that helps companies pay bills, send invoices, and manage payments. CEO and founder René Lacerte previously built and sold the payroll company PayCycle, which was acquired by Intuit for $170 million in 2009.
The company is backed by financial heavy-weights Mastercard and JPMorgan, which have both participated in significant private funding rounds in the company.
