Inrix Inc., a traffic-information provider backed by venture investors, is moving toward an initial public offering that may value the enterprise at more than $1 billion, Chief Executive Officer Bryan Mistele said.
The company, based in Kirkland, Washington, might seek to raise $75 million to $100 million by offering 10 percent to 15 percent of Inrix shares through underwriters, Mistele said in an interview. Inrix is talking with banks, looking for a transaction “in the short term,” he said.
