OpenAI reportedly raising $15 billion at $1.25 trillion valuation
OpenAI is reported to be raising $15 billion at a $1.25 trillion valuation, in a round that Benzinga says has not officially closed.
Closing is expected within a couple of weeks. Bloomberg, cited in a beststartup.us roundup, reported on November 6 an initial tranche of $11 billion at the same valuation. Other funding trackers give different figures, including $122 billion at an $852 billion valuation, so primary sources should be checked. The Benzinga headline ties the raise to OpenAI's IPO plans, without further detail in the results seen.
