Khosla Ventures has raised $405 million for OpenAI, indicating a stake of at least 6% in the $6.6 billion funding round. However, most of this capital was likely pooled from other investors using a special purpose vehicle.
The use of a special purpose vehicle (SPV) allows investment firms to share allocations with other investors, effectively broadening their exposure to high-value companies like OpenAI while managing their own capital limits.
OpenAI has proven to be a lucrative investment for Khosla Ventures. They invested $50 million in 2019 and reportedly held a 5% stake, which has significantly appreciated in value.
OpenAI's latest valuation at $157 billion marks a considerable increase from its previous worth assumptions, underscoring the rapid growth and investor interest in AI technology.
