OpenAI has acquired a significant equity stake in Thrive Holdings, a private equity firm founded by Josh Kushner, in a strategic exchange for access to its AI tools, engineers, and data. This move is part of OpenAI's broader enterprise strategy, enhancing its ties with key investors, including Thrive Capital, which invested over $1 billion in OpenAI in 2024. The partnership enables Thrive’s portfolio companies to integrate OpenAI’s AI technology into their operations, providing them with advanced AI capabilities. In return, OpenAI gains access to valuable enterprise data for model training and stands to benefit from potential future returns based on Thrive’s performance.
