Sea Limited CEO Forrest Li Reflects on Nine Years Since IPO

In a letter to employees, Sea Limited Chairman and CEO Forrest LI said: "Nine years ago today, on October 20th 2017, we became a publicly listed company on the New York Stock Exchange... Nine years on, here is where that race has taken us. Comparing our most recent quarter with the quarter in which we listed: Garena's quarterly active users have grown almost 10 times, from 69 million to 666 million. Shopee's quarterly GMV has grown 35 times, from $1.1 billion to $38.3 billion. And our quarterly revenue has grown more than 80 times, from $94 million to $7.8 billion. All three of our businesses are well-scaled, profitable, and still growing. None of this would have been possible without going public. Listing gave us capital, gave us credibility, and let far more people contribute to - and share in - what we were building. We may well ring that bell again! At our IPO, our financial services business was still tiny compared to where it is today. Since then, Monee has been running the same race we ran between 2009 and 2017- building something out of nothing, and working to make it big enough and good enough to go public. We believe Monee is approaching the point where it can stand on its own two feet and begin its own race. Going public could give it the resources and the room to go further and faster than it can today. We will keep building this way: wave after wave, cycle after cycle. From starting up, to listing, to racing - and then starting up again. Let me tell you about our next start-up. For more than ten years, we have quietly built and run our own cloud platform. It was never a side project. It is the backbone powering Garena, Shopee and Monee's scale every single day, at a level of cost and reliability we could not have bought from anyone else. Over the last two years, around 500 Sailors have been rebuilding that platform to power something new: the wave of AI applications rising across every part of Sea. Because of their work, taking an AI idea from a whiteboard to production inside our company is now dramatically faster than it was two years ago. We are now going to offer that capability to the world. Its name is Sea Cloud. Sea Cloud will be an AI-first enterprise platform, built by a team that has spent a decade running infrastructure at enormous scale, under real commercial pressure, for some of the most demanding consumer businesses in this region."
