It’s IPO day for Lightspeed-backed Navan, and what a journey it’s been. ✈️ From rethinking business travel to reinventing how companies manage expenses, Ariel Cohen, Ilan Twig, and the Navan team have built something extraordinary. When global travel came to a halt during COVID,

What an incredible day at Nasdaq celebrating Navan’s IPO. Congratulations to Ariel, Ilan Twig, and the entire team on this milestone. Five years ago, as COVID shut down global travel, Navan’s business was hit hard. But what happened next was a masterclass in resilience.
