OpenAI is poised to make significant financial strides, with Sarah Friar, the COO, confidently predicting that by 2025, the company will rake in a staggering $11 billion in revenue, nearly tripling from previous years. In 2023, OpenAI generated $1 billion in revenue and anticipates almost tripling that in the following year.
Additionally, user numbers have been steadily climbing, with a 33% increase in weekly users, reaching a whopping 400 million by December. Simultaneously, OpenAI is in negotiations with SoftBank for a $40 billion investment, potentially skyrocketing the company’s value to $300 billion.
Despite the revenue growth over the years, OpenAI has also been facing escalating losses. In September 2024, the New York Times reported that OpenAI is projected to lose $5 billion.
Moreover, the company has encountered a lucrative acquisition offer of $97.4 billion from Elon Musk, a co-founder who stepped down from the company in 2018. However, the OpenAI board rejected this proposal.
TLDR: OpenAI is expecting a significant revenue increase by 2025, but also facing escalating losses and a notable acquisition offer from Elon Musk, which was ultimately turned down.
