OpenAI has restructured its organization, transitioning into a public benefit corporation (PBC) under the supervision of its non-profit foundation. Experts believe this move is aimed at simplifying a future IPO process and creating a more transparent environment for investors.
Sam Altman previously stated that going public is “inevitable,” though no exact timeline has yet been set. However, 2027 is increasingly being discussed internally as a realistic target year for the IPO.
Other factors strengthening this IPO scenario include OpenAI’s new governance structure and its commitment to remain headquartered in California.
Thus, 2027 could mark a major turning point for OpenAI. Still, it’s worth noting that these plans have not been officially confirmed by the company, and given the rapidly changing dynamics of the tech sector, timelines could shift.
