Today is IPO Day. ServiceTitan has officially gone public on the Nasdaq under the ticker $TTAN, becoming the first Armenian-founded tech company to IPO on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. This landmark moment for the Armenian community and the global tech sector marks a new chapter for ServiceTitan, as the company raised an impressive $624.8 million through its initial public offering (IPO), pricing its shares at $71 each ” well above its anticipated range.
ServiceTitan shares surged 42% in their Nasdaq debut, opening at $101 per share, well above the IPO price of $71. This surge gave the cloud-based software company a valuation of over $10 billion. The stock is currently trading at $101.65, reflecting strong demand and growing investor confidence in the company’s long-term potential.
Founded in 2012 by Armenian entrepreneurs Ara Mahdessian and Vahe Kuzoyan, ServiceTitan is a Glendale, California-based cloud software platform designed to empower residential and commercial contractors. What began as a mission to solve challenges within their own families’ businesses has evolved into a global SaaS leader in the trades industry, transforming how HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and other service companies operate.
A Story of the American Dream
This milestone was made even more special by the emotional full-circle moment that took place during ServiceTitan’s Nasdaq debut. In a heartwarming display of gratitude and legacy, Ara and Vahe stepped back as their parents pressed the Nasdaq ceremonial button, symbolizing the very reason ServiceTitan was created. Their parents, who spent years working in the trades, inspired the creation of the platform, as Ara and Vahe sought to modernize their family businesses using technology.
This story embodies the essence of the American Dream, where hard work, perseverance, and vision transform a simple idea into a multi-billion-dollar enterprise. What began as a mission to support their own families has grown into a platform that now empowers thousands of tradespeople worldwide.
A Monumental IPO
ServiceTitan’s IPO is a major victory not only for the company but for the entire Armenian community, coming amid a two-year drought of tech IPOs and marking a pivotal moment for the sector.
ServiceTitan’s IPO was underwritten by financial giants Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, with support from prominent venture capital firms Bessemer Venture Partners and Iconiq, among others.
This IPO also marks a major milestone for the tech sector. As one of the few companies to go public amid a period of market uncertainty, ServiceTitan’s successful launch signals renewed investor confidence in well-positioned SaaS companies, following the recent IPOs of Rubrik, Reddit, Instacart, and Klaviyo.
A Symbol of Armenian Pride
Beyond the numbers, ServiceTitan’s IPO is a profound moment of pride for the global Armenian community. To see an Armenian-founded tech company achieve such historic success ” becoming the first Armenian-founded company to IPO on Nasdaq ” is a monumental achievement. The fact that it was inspired by the entrepreneurial spirit of the founders’ parents further highlights the meaning behind their success.
This achievement will be remembered as a landmark moment for the Armenian diaspora and a testament to the power of hard work, family, and legacy. It also sends a powerful message to the tech sector that Armenian-founded companies are capable of leading on a global stage.
Congratulations to Ara, Vahe, and the entire ServiceTitan team on this historic milestone!
🇦🇲 ServiceTitan has made history. From humble beginnings to Nasdaq.
