OpenAI Seeks $90 Billion Valuation in Possible Share Sale, WSJ Says
OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, is talking to investors about a potential share sale that would value the startup at $80 billion to $90 billion, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Such a valuation would be almost three times what the artificial intelligence startup was valued at earlier this year, the Journal said, citing unidentified people familiar with the discussions.
The deal would allow employees to sell their existing shares instead of the company issuing new ones to raise fresh capital, according to the Journal. OpenAI has begun pitching investors on the deal, the people said, though terms could still change.
