TechFlow, according to The Wall Street Journal citing知情人士, OpenAI is in talks with investors over a potential stock sale that would value the company at between $80 billion and $90 billion—nearly triple its valuation earlier this year.
The deal would allow employees to sell their existing shares rather than raising new capital through issuing new shares. According to the sources, OpenAI has already begun marketing the transaction to investors, though terms could still change. Co-founded by Sam Altman, OpenAI has received $13 billion in investment from Microsoft. The company previously told investors it expects to generate $1 billion in revenue this year, with several billion more expected by 2024.
