OpenAI Raises $11 Billion at $1.25 Trillion Valuation in Funding Round
OpenAI has secured $11 billion in the first part of a funding round valuing the company at $1.25 trillion. The total round could reach $20 billion, down from an initial target of over $30 billion at a $1.4 trillion valuation, reflecting cooled investor sentiment amid a sell-off in AI stocks and concerns about infrastructure costs. Investors include Coatue Management, T. Rowe Price, SoftBank, Sequoia Capital, Founders Fund, Andreessen Horowitz, and a UAE syndicate. OpenAI is also engaging with banks to raise funds from high-net-worth and retail investors.
