AIN поспілкувався з професійними інвесторами й попросив їх розповісти про те, як перевіряти стартапи перед тим, як вкладати кошти, що може сигналізувати про провальність майбутньої угоди та в який спосіб фаундерам готуватися до залучення інвестицій. З нами говорили: інвестиційний аналітик Horizon Capital Андрій Бродецький, співзасновник венчурної фірми ZAS Ventures Андрій Зінчук, координаторка USF Евеліна Голованьова, інвестиційний директор Horizon Capital і u.ventures Богдан Свиридов, інвестиційна директорка в Sigma Software Labs Дар’я Янієва.

OpenAI’s monthly revenue hit $300 million in August, up 1,700 percent since the beginning of 2023, and the company expects about $3.7 billion in annual sales this year, according to financial documents reviewed by The New York Times. OpenAI estimates that its revenue will balloon to $11.6 billion next year. But it expects to lose roughly $5 billion this year after paying for costs related to running its services and other expenses like employee salaries and office rent. OpenAI’s revenue in August more than tripled from a year ago, according to the documents, and about 350 million people — up from around 100 million in March — used its services each month as of June. Most of that has come from the continuing popularity of ChatGPT, which was released in November 2022. The documents show a spike in growth after ChatGPT began allowing people to use the service without creating an account or logging in. The company expects ChatGPT to bring in $2.7 billion in revenue this year, up from $700 million in 2023, with $1 billion coming from other businesses using its technology. Roughly 10 million ChatGPT users pay the company a $20 monthly fee, according to the documents. OpenAI expects to raise that price by $2 by the end of the year, and will aggressively raise it to $44 over the next five years, the documents said. More than one million third-party developers use OpenAI’s technology to power their own services. OpenAI predicts its revenue will hit $100 billion in 2029, which would roughly match the current annual sales of Nestlé or Target.
