The AI powerhouse is backing areas of AI it believes will deliver the most impact, from humanoid robotics to personal health to learning. We profile its key investments and acquisitions.
OpenAI, the AI lab most famous for developing ChatGPT, has been steadily establishing a presence in the startup ecosystem as an investor and acquirer.
In the last 2 years, it has backed more than 20 AI startups — mostly via its OpenAI Startup Fund (which has LPs including Microsoft and other OpenAI investors) — many of which are building on OpenAI’s own infrastructure. The company itself also doles out occasional grants and has acquired 3 startups in the last year.
OpenAI’s recent investments point to potential growth opportunities for the firm, especially as it faces pressure to earn its eye-watering $80B valuation and stay ahead of competitors in the fast-moving generative AI market.
Below, we dig into where OpenAI has placed its bets so far across investments and acquisitions. We also look at the areas it could target next.
