OpenAI warns investors against unauthorized SPVs and funding schemes
OpenAI has issued a public warning against investing in unauthorized special purpose vehicles (SPVs) and similar structures claiming to offer access to the company’s equity. It emphasized that such investment avenues are not sanctioned by OpenAI, and participation in them could result in legal and financial risks. The company clarified that it does not currently have an open funding round, nor is it soliciting investment from the public. OpenAI’s message follows a growing trend where intermediaries offer indirect investment routes into high-profile AI firms.
This move highlights increasing scrutiny of secondary investment schemes in the rapidly growing AI sector.
