OpenAI is currently in negotiations to sell employee equity, marking a remarkable surge in the company's valuation to an astonishing $500 billion. Existing investors, notably Thrive Capital, have demonstrated keen interest in acquiring shares from employees. This impressive valuation signifies a colossal 33-fold jump from the $15 billion valuation recorded just two years ago. The impending equity sale will enable both current and former employees to liquidate their holdings. OpenAI's recent surge in funding activities, coupled with its relentless pursuit of technological innovation and the launch of several groundbreaking products and platforms, have collectively bolstered its valuation to new heights.
