OpenAI reportedly in talks to raise $30B round at $1.4T valuation
The new round is anticipated to be the company's last before its delayed 2027 public debut.
Get smart on it
OpenAI is in talks to raise at least $30 billion at a valuation of roughly $1.4 trillion in a pre-IPO funding round, according to Bloomberg. This represents a significant increase from the company's previous $122 billion funding round in March at an $852 billion valuation. The company has delayed its anticipated public market debut, with the CEO ruling out a public debut in 2026 to prioritize AI safety concerns. The new funding round would serve as a bridge before the company eventually goes public.
