Oura Rings Worth $11B, CEO Still Playing CEO-nundrum
Tom Hale, the elusive CEO of Oura Health—not to be confused with a mystic yogi—kept his poker face firmly glued during a New York Times interview. Despite rumors swirling louder than a caffeine-fueled startup hackathon about Oura ringing up nearly $11 billion in valuation with fresh funding, Hale tactfully dodged confirming the cash cascade. Instead, he leaned into the million-dollar (billion-dollar?) question: will Oura take their finger jewelry stock market debut? So far, no bell has rung on that IPO front, preserving the suspense like a Netflix teaser from 2019 that nobody asked for. Meanwhile, investors probably need a ring just to track their heart rate after this cryptic chat.
