What do you know? Behind the famous artists Will.i.am invested in early OpenAI before soaring into the $8.5 billion AI giant. 🚀
Did you know? Will.i.am A world-famous artist is one of the investors who has believed in OpenAI since most people on earth have not even heard of "ChatGPT." 🤯
Back several years ago, he joined a private investment group focused on supporting AI startups, including today's top companies like OpenAI, Anthropic and Hugging Face. 🤖
💡. Beginning from the research room.
In that era, OpenAI was also just a research laboratory funded by billionaires like Reid Hoffman, Elon Musk and Peter Thiel. AI technology was not yet mainstream, and that investment had no guarantee of a successful outcome.
📈 leap to being a giant.
OpenAI is currently a surging US $8.5 billion! company and is reportedly preparing for its first public offering (IPO), joining global financial institutions like Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, which many parties predict could be one of the biggest stock market debuts in history 📊.
🤝 Who's the persuader?
He credited billionaire Reid Hoffman with inducing him into the industry, Will.i.am told the latter...
"One day Reid called me and said," There's one person you should meet...It would be great if you joined the band. You should invest. I invest too. '"
💼 A vision of the future.
Today, Will.i.am has named OpenAI one of his smartest investment decisions with an estimated net property value of about $50 million, not just from its success in music, but from having a "vision" that knows where to bet before AI trends become the world's mainstream. 🌍
He sees the future ahead, dares to make decisions early, and now he's watching the new history of technology from the front row seat! 🎟️✨
