The value of artificial intelligence company OpenAI recently increased to 80 billion dollars after concluding a major financing deal. This investment contract shows the great confidence of investors in the progress of this company and the field of artificial intelligence.
The deal, managed by venture capital firm Thrive Capital, involves the sale of existing shares in a tender offer. The company's approach allows employees to monetize their shares without having to raise additional funds for business operations.
This is not the first time that OpenAI has participated in such a deal. In a similar move earlier last year, the company raised significant capital from venture capital firms Thrive Capital, Sequoia Capital, Andreessen Horowitz and K2 Global, valuing it at around $29 billion; But the current contract is important in other ways, besides the financial discussion. OpenAi has experienced significant management changes in recent months, with CEO Sam Altman leaving the company and returning within a few weeks. Remembering this incident, we can say that this investment, in addition to the financial discussion, also increases the management stability in this company.
The growing interest in contracting with AI companies has been fueled, in particular, by Microsoft's $10 billion investment in OpenAi. After that, a broader trend of investor enthusiasm and optimism has been seen in this sector, and venture capital firms have also joined the crowd.
According to data from CB Insights, OpenAI's increase in value during recent investments makes the company one of the top tech startups in the world, comparable to a giant like SpaceX. Investments in companies that develop artificial intelligence are increasing day by day, and OpenAi has also rapidly increased in value after the development and release of chatgpt and attracting public attention.
