Episode notes
Capped-Profit Structure Limits Investment
- OpenAI created a capped-profit subsidiary to attract investment while limiting profit incentives.
- That structure helped funding but also restricted potential investors and long-term capital options.
Microsoft's Deep Strategic Stake
- Microsoft invested over $13 billion and holds 49% of the for-profit LLC, gaining preferred access to new models.
- That stake gives Microsoft leverage over OpenAI's access and restructuring plans.
Public Benefit Corp As A Middle Path
- OpenAI wants to remove the profit cap and become a public benefit corporation to attract more capital.
- A public benefit corporation allows profit without unlimited investor caps while embedding a mission in its charter.
