BuzzFeed, Inc. is in talks to go public through a merger with 890 5th Avenue Partners, Inc. (Public Investment Firm - NasdaqCM:ENFA), according to people with knowledge of the matter. Once public, the company may use its currency to target future acquisitions, said one of the people, who requested anonymity because the talks are private. A transaction value couldn't immediately be learned.

As with any deal that hasn't been finalized, it's possible terms change or talks fall apart. Representatives of BuzzFeed and 890 5th Avenue didn't immediately respond to requests for comment.
