According to sources, OpenAI is engaged in in-depth discussions with private equity firms such as TPG, Bain Capital, Advent International, and Brookfield to establish a joint venture with a pre-investment valuation of approximately $10 billion. Under the proposal, private equity investors would invest around $4 billion to acquire equity in the joint venture and gain influence over the deployment of OpenAI's technology within their portfolio companies. This move aims to help OpenAI expand into the enterprise market while providing transformational support for AI-impacted companies under the private equity firms' management.
