# Rumor: Could an Oregon Unicorn be planning an IPO…?

If this rumor proves true, the next IPO in Oregon probably won’t be what you think. It’s not a Portland company. And it’s not a tech company. [It’s Grants Pass, Oregon, headquartered Dutch Bros](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-05-04/tsg-backed-coffee-chain-dutch-bros-is-said-to-plan-ipo-this-year). And, if they follow through, it’s rumored to value the company at $3 billion.

> Dutch Bros Coffee, backed by consumer-focused private equity firm TSG Consumer Partners, is planning an initial public offering for this year, according to people with knowledge of the matter.
> 
> The company, based in Grants Pass, Oregon, is seeking to be valued in an IPO at about $3 billion, the people said, asking not to be identified because the information is private. Dutch Bros has held discussions with potential advisers about a listing, the people said.

More information as the story develops.
