Take the starry eyed excitement and use it to fuel a huge exit for investors in the form of an IPO.


It's not the 2010's anymore. Market interest in unprofitable tech companies has waned.Plus OpenAI's organizational structure makes it a poor candidate for an IPO. Maybe MS will buy it, but honestly there's little reason for them to do that. In any case, pinning all expected value on an IPO doesn't really speak well of the firm's potential value.


OpenAI has a capped-profit model so I really don't think it will ever go public.
