With IPO on the horizon, can Navan’s rapid growth outpace structural losses? #Navan, Inc., the integrated business travel and expense (T&E) platform, recently announced plans to go public with speculation it may be as early as Thursday (October 30). While strong growth continues to drive the narrative, questions around profitability and a reported 30% drop in valuation from its last financing round present a complex picture for public market investors. Over the past year, Global Sector Lead - TMT,  Scott Kessler, and his team have followed Navan closely and spoken with industry experts to gather insights. Here’s what we’re hearing: 📈 Hyper-growth in a massive TAM: Navan is tapping a $185B market with its consumer-style, AI-powered T&E experience. Revenue grew 32% YoY, and experts project annual growth of 30% or more over the next few years, outpacing the global travel market. 💸 Unprofitable operations in a crowded market: Navan remains largely unprofitable. The company faces stiff competition from both enterprise giants (SAP, Oracle) and fintech disruptors (Brex, Ramp). 🤖 AI driving efficiency: Navan’s virtual agent recently handled ~50% of user interactions, helping expand gross margins from 67% to 72%, with potential to reach 80% according to our experts. 👉 Get up to speed on how the Navan story is unfolding in our latest blog: https://lnkd.in/e-iWum37 #WeAreThirdBrige #ExpertNetwork

What happens when you combine Sir Stephen Fry's eloquence, the future of legal, and an inflatable red elephant? 🐘 #LegalGeek2025, apparently, and Adam Feare, Maniti Barot, and Nick Tidmarsh from the Third Bridge Legal team were there for all of it! 🚀 Two days exploring what tomorrow's legal function looks like: 📚 Sir Stephen Fry waxing lyrical about law, how the past drives the future (as only he can). 🤖 Hands-on workshops with Legora and other legal partners - proving that the best innovation happens over Swedish pastries and fresh juice. 🎤 TED-style talks that challenged how we think about building future-proof legal teams. 🧘 Mindfulness sessions with Simon Mundie and Daniel Hayman - because sustainable high performance beats burnout every time. 🎯 And yes, we addressed the inflatable red elephant in the room (literally and metaphorically). Why this matters... At Third Bridge, we're investing in three things that will define tomorrow's legal teams: 1. Nurturing talent 🌱 We invest in our people because brilliant legal work comes from brilliant, supported professionals. Our team returned energised and empowered to innovate. 2. Embracing automation ⚡ AI and legal tech free us to focus on what humans do best: strategic thinking, creative problem-solving, and building trusted relationships. 3. Building for tomorrow 🔮 Thriving legal teams combine cutting-edge technology with human expertise and sustainable practices. LegalGeek reminded us that tomorrow's legal function is innovative, collaborative, and human. This is what investing in excellence looks like. Grateful to LegalGeek for creating a space where legal professionals can learn, connect, and imagine what's possible. #LegalGeek2025 #LegalInnovation #InHouseLegal #LegalTech #ThirdBridge #FutureOfLegal #NurturingTalent #LegalAutomation
