OpenAI aims to secure investor signatures by the end of next week, with the round's final size still undetermined, according to people familiar with the deal. UAE investors are leading alongside Coatue, and the financing is positioned as an opportunistic bridge before a likely IPO in 2027, as CFO Sarah Friar told employees. OpenAI is also negotiating a commercial deal for additional computing capacity from the UAE. The raise comes amid tech market jitters around CoreWeave, rising interest rates, and Anthropic's expected IPO as a test of investor appetite. OpenAI has filed confidentially to go public.
