Coursera Inc. is considering an initial public offering in 2021 that could give the online education provider a valuation of around $5 billion, according to people familiar with the matter.
The company is talking to potential IPO underwriters, the people said, asking not to be identified because the matter isn’t public. No final decision has been made and Mountain View, California-based Coursera could opt to remain private, they said.
