Started in December 2015, OpenAI has raised a substantial amount since.

OpenAI has set records, shattered expectations, and defied the odds when it comes to securing investments. With their eyes fixed firmly on the horizon of artificial general intelligence (AGI), they've attracted some of the biggest players in the investment world. From prestigious venture capital firms to prominent tech moguls, the who's who of the financial realm have placed their bets on OpenAI, propelling them to new heights.

VC firms include giants like Sequoia Capital and Andreessen Horowitz among others, have put in just over $300 million at a valuation of $27 billion-$29 billion. In addition, Microsoft announced earlier this year that they invested around $10 billion. Altogether, outside investors now own more than 30% of OpenAI! And they're not done yet. OpenAI is still actively making deals and are on track to beat the whopping $41 billion they raised in 2022, per Crunchbase data.

These numbers may leave you wondering how this company struck gold. Well the secret may lie in their pitch 👀

Come with me as we have a first hand look at this tech giant’s pitch deck:

Like any good pitch deck, it’s important to address the problem at hand. As seen below, OpenAI tackled the challenge of generating coherent and contextually relevant text in a conversational setting. It addressed the problem of natural language understanding and generation, aiming to develop an AI system that could engage in human-like conversations and provide meaningful responses.

Looking at the solution they proposed, by leveraging advanced natural language processing techniques and an extensive parameter count, OpenAI aimed to push the boundaries of conversational AI and provide more human-like and meaningful interactions with AI systems in an ethical manner. Each person is able to mend the answer as they will, tailoring the bot’s personality, voice, and responses to their needs.

I’m sure as many of you already know, OpenAI operates in the artificial intelligence (AI) market, which encompasses a wide range of industries and applications. As many predicted, the AI market size is projected to reach significant figures in the range of hundreds of billions to trillions of dollars, driven by the increasing adoption of AI technologies across sectors such as healthcare, finance, retail, and more. Showing their market size here, OpenAI provides potential investors with a clear understanding of the business's growth potential, scalability, and the opportunities available within the market, helping them assess the viability and attractiveness of the investment opportunity.
