Two things:
One, it's a remarkable accomplishment to not manage to cook an IPO even now when SEC is functionally gutted by the Trump admin. They made crime legal! What are you doing?! Just lie in the statements and run to Barbados or something
Two, I am baffled by this
Harrison Rolfes from Pitchbook (...) thinks a good time for OpenAI to do an IPO is “mid-to-late 2027”. He wants a few quarters of “clean execution” and not floundering.
Like what? What are you talking about. The whole point of the IPO is to cash out ASAP before the music stops. Why are you talking about OpenAI like it's a real business? Am I in Wonderland? The best time for OpenAI to make an IPO was yesterday, the second best is right fucking now, how would waiting a year be possibly good for them
