OpenAI is gearing up to raise a staggering $100 billion in a fresh round of financing, a move that has ignited widespread curiosity and speculation regarding the origin of these substantial funds. As previously covered by our publication, prior to embarking on this financing endeavor, OpenAI's valuation is projected to soar to around $750 billion.
In the United States, a diverse array of financial investors, encompassing large retail fund managers known for channeling capital into private startups, are anticipated to contribute only about $10 billion towards this financing effort. This is largely attributable to the fact that even institutions managing assets worth hundreds of billions of dollars tend to impose upper thresholds on their investment exposure to any single enterprise, adhering to prudent risk management practices.
