In its official statement, Catapult Sports chief executive Shaun Holthouse says the two businesses will continue to operate as separate entities for at least the next 12 months. But we certainly don’t have any plans for an IPO in the next 12 months,” he says. “It’s one of those things where there was some uninformed speculation about an IPO in an article, and it quickly became accepted as fact. However, despite reports to the contrary, Westover told StartupSmart Catapult Sports has no plans for an IPO this year.

Its backers include a number of high-profile investors, including as Dallas Mavericks owner and high-profile entrepreneur Mark Cuban.
