Tiger Global set for $5bn paper gain from early OpenAI investment
Hedgeweek reports that Tiger Global Management is poised to generate an estimated $5bn in paper gains from its early investment in OpenAI, citing a Bloomberg report. The firm committed $150m to OpenAI in 2021 when the company was valued at $15.7bn, and OpenAI is now in discussions to raise $30bn at a proposed $1.4tn valuation. The gains remain unrealised and a full exit depends on an eventual IPO, which Sam Altman has indicated is unlikely before 2027.
