OpenAI CFO to Staff: “We’ll Be Public in 2027—or Sooner”

‼️ 🧠 OpenAI CFO Friar told employees the company “will be a public company in 2027” or sooner, framing the IPO as “a milestone, another fundraise” rather than a finish line. He noted OpenAI raised $122 billion in March, giving it flexibility, and said it’s fine if Anthropic goes public first—both are confidentially filed, and Anthropic could debut as early as September. She also shared internal slides showing OpenAI’s revenue run rate is up 35% quarter-to-date, enterprise revenue run rate up 50%, and its AI coding/work product has reached 20 million weekly active users.
