OpenAI acquisition targets 🤝 Sam Altman's investment portfolio

With rumors that OpenAI is targeting Sam Altman and Jony Ive's AI device company, which other Altman-backed companies are likely acquisition targets?

With $40B of fresh capital, OpenAI will likely become increasingly acquisitive, focusing on two key areas, infrastructure (building the base for continued growth at the foundational level) and applications (focusing on revenue-generation as the company transitions to for profit).

Three new investments from the last twelve months stand out:

1) AirOps (Jun '24 via Alt Capital): A platform that allows users to create, test, deploy, and scale AI applications.

2) CrewAI (Oct '24 via Alt Capital): A platform for building, deploying, and managing AI agents.

3) Exowatt (Apr '24): Renewable energy company that provides modular solutions for energy generation and storage.

Will Altman's investments fuel OpenAI's acquisition pipeline?
