OpenAI president Greg Brockman told a Wall Street Journal conference the company could be ready to go public in 2027, pointing to enterprise gains against rival Anthropic.
Speaking at a WSJ tech conference, Brockman said OpenAI has been making headway in the enterprise market, an area where Anthropic has already built traction. His comments are the clearest public signal yet of a timeline for an eventual IPO.
An IPO would mark a major shift for a company that started as a nonprofit research lab and has since built one of the most valuable AI businesses in the world, now facing direct competitive pressure from Anthropic for enterprise contracts.
A 2027 IPO target puts a clock on OpenAI's enterprise sales push and gives rivals and customers a timeline to plan around. Leadership at competing labs and enterprise buyers should expect OpenAI to accelerate commercial deals and disclosures as it builds a public-market story.
