OpenAI, which has become one of the most important companies in the artificial intelligence ecosystem with ChatGPT, continues to grow day by day. OpenAI, which has managed to become one of the most invested companies in the last 5 years, is preparing to receive a new investment.
According to a report by The Wall Street Journal, the company will receive a new investment at a valuation of 100 billion dollars in the coming period. To remind you, last February, we informed you that OpenAI’s valuation exceeded $ 80 billion.
The investment is expected to be led by Thrive Capital, which is also among OpenAI’s existing investors. Thrive Capital will invest approximately 1 billion dollars in the company in the new investment round. Microsoft, one of the most important investors of the company, is also expected to participate in the investment round. Let’s add that Microsoft has provided OpenAI with approximately $13 billion worth of cloud infrastructure and financing support to date.
There is no information on whether other investors such as Andreessen Horowitz, K2 Global, Sequoia Capital, Tiger Global Management, Khosla Ventures and Y Combinator will participate in the round or exactly how much investment the company aims to receive in the new investment round.
Let us remind you that OpenAI, which received its first investment from Y Combinator in 2016, has raised a total of 11.3 billion dollars in investments to date. The main reason why the company is seeking reinvestment stands out as the expenses incurred. According to The Information, the company has already spent $8.5 billion on artificial intelligence training and staff recruitment.
