\n

Oura, the smart ring maker, with offices in San Francisco and Finland, is reportedly planning to raise up $3 billion as soon as next month in a U.S. IPO that values the more than 900-person<\/a> company at north of $16 billion<\/a>, according to Bloomberg. The outlet adds that investors are expected to sell a major chunk of stock in the offering.<\/p>\n

A $16 billion valuation would mark an enormous jump from the $10.9 billion valuation Oura was assigned last September, when it closed an $875 million Series<\/a> E round backed by Fidelity, ICONIQ, Whale Rock, and Atreides, joining earlier backers like Dexcom, The Chernin Group, Forerunner Ventures, Coatue, and Temasek.<\/p>\n

The wearables space has gotten crowded fast. <\/p>\n

Samsung launched its own ring, the Galaxy Ring, two years ago. But Oura\u2019s most direct rival may be the fitness band maker Whoop, which has undergone its own reinvention. Once a performance tool for elite athletes and young men, Whoop has spent the past year courting a much broader audience, layering in hormone tracking and blood-panel testing for perimenopause and thyroid health. The move drove its own valuation up to $10 billion back in March. Oura has followed a similar path, evolving from its starting niche of biohacking CEOs into a more mainstream sleep-and-recovery brand.<\/p>\n

Oura announced in May that it had filed confidentially for an IPO. <\/p>\n

Not all of Oura\u2019s recent attention has been positive. A proposed class action lawsuit filed last week in San Francisco is accusing Oura of misleading consumers about the accuracy of its sleep tracking features. Among other complaints<\/a> in the filing, Oura is accused of not just claiming \u201cto measure a heartbeat or a temperature, but the exact stage of sleep the wearer is in\u2014which in reality requires electrodes in the scalp and sensors on the eyes, as only a hospital or other clinical setting can do.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a statement to TechCrunch sent over the weekend, a spokesperson pushed back against claims in that suit, saying the company plans to \u201cdefend against them in the app<\/a>ropriate legal forum\u201d and that: \u201cWhile Oura Ring is not a medical device or a substitute for a clinical sleep study, Oura\u2019s sleep staging has been validated and compared favorably in multiple studies against polysomnography, the gold standard.\u201d The statement continued on to say that \u201c[m]ultiple third-party, independent studies support our claims of accuracy and we have transparently reported on the mechanisms and measures that inform Oura\u2019s sleep staging.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
