This method of financing is not novel. But anytime you see an unnecessarily complex deal like this, one should think very carefully about why they didn't opt for a simpler method, e.g. simply selling stock in the open market.
The reasoning behind such a deal are usually not a good sign for the underlying health of the companies involved.
- famouswaffles 1y agoI'm assuming this is what you mean by 'simply selling stock in the open market' so correct me if I'm wrong but Why would Open AI go public when they can raise so much private money they're valued at 500B ? It certainly wouldn't be for fear of a lack of investment. AMD is up 30% from this announcement alone.
