Japan startup Timee, which operates a platform connecting workers seeking side gigs with labor-strapped businesses, is targeting a listing in July in Tokyo, two people familiar with the matter said.
The startup, founded in 2017, is aiming for a valuation of roughly $1 billion and the joint global coordinators are Daiwa Securities and Morgan Stanley, the people said.
The Tokyo Stock Exchange could approve the listing as soon as late next week, said one of the people, who all declined to be identified as the information is not public.
