How to Invest in OpenAI, ChatGPT Creator

The word is out: OpenAI is currently experiencing unprecedented success and growth, which can only be described as remarkable. In November 2022, the company released the marvel of modern technology known as GPT-3 (Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3) along with its specific application, ChatGPT.

This groundbreaking language model uses the most advanced deep learning techniques to generate text that's virtually indistinguishable from human writing. It’s no wonder that this incredible tool has captured the attention of countless users and investors worldwide.

Is OpenAI as successful as people say?

To put ChatGPT’s success into perspective, consider this: it took 3 years and 5 months for Netflix to reach 1 million subscribers, 2 years for Twitter, 10 months for Facebook, and around 2.5 months for Instagram to gain the same level of traction. Meanwhile, ChatGPT achieved this milestone in a mere 5 days. Moreover, just two months after its launch, the number of users increased a hundredfold, reaching an astonishing 100 million, with the latest numbers being as high as 180.5 million as of October 2023.

While companies of all sizes race to catch up with the latest advancements in AI technology, it’s expected that only a select few will reach the same level of generative models as GPT-4 and DALL·E 3. ChatGPT, a specific implementation of GPT-3.5 and GPT-4, can generate a cohesive paragraph of information. On the other hand, Bard, a ChatGPT competitor, just offers you a raw chunk of it. ChatGPT can also summarize, translate, and generate text at a higher level than its competitors, making it the industry standard and a premier writing tool that surpasses all others.

In light of the above, it’s no surprise that 92% of the world’s biggest companies by revenue from the Fortune 500 list use ChatGPT to their benefit. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg in OpenAI’s success story. The launch of ChatGPT Plus, a premium service priced at USD 20 per month, for instance, has the potential to generate around USD 36 million in Monthly Recurring Revenue if only 1% of the 180 million ChatGPT users end up opting for the premium offering.

All things considered, OpenAI anticipates a substantial boost in revenue, projected to soar to USD 1 billion by 2024, a monumental leap compared to its current earnings.

Given all the information presented thus far, you may have found yourself wondering how to get involved and invest in OpenAI.

How to invest in OpenAI?

Given that OpenAI is currently a private company, many seeking exposure on the web are facing the fact that the only way to do so would be to buy Microsoft stock (MSFT), as Microsoft owns a significant stake in the company. The second most popular option is a similar indirect investment via Nvidia stock (NVDA).

That said, however, considering the significant fall of tech stocks in 2022, which was responsible for most of the S&P 500’s 2022 decline than all the other components combined, is investing in Microsoft or Nvidia really the best option? Is there an alternative worth exploring?

Previously, those who wished to invest in a private company like OpenAI typically required a substantial amount of capital, like the ones Microsoft or big VCs have. Fortunately, in recent years, the situation has changed with access to private companies being democratized through the appearance of companies that help enter this sphere.

Moonshot is a Swiss company that enables access to private markets and offers an exclusive opportunity for you to invest in OpenAI, unlike putting your money in stocks that are only partially connected with AI. By leveraging a modern investment structure, we offer a modest minimum investment of USD 25’000, which allows the mass affluent to benefit from the enormous potential of generative AI and the company itself.

Our investors, who seized the opportunity in February 2023 have already gained a substantial 178% return. Yet, this appears to be just the beginning.

If you’re intrigued by the idea of capitalizing on the dominant force in the generative AI market, please visit moonshot.ch/investment/openai-chatgpt/ for more details.

Please note that due to the exceptionally high demand, you may be added to a waiting list and informed if a slot becomes available, typically within 2–4 weeks. While there may be a potential wait time, keep in mind that exercising patience can lead to significant rewards. Those who overlook OpenAI may regret their decision soon.

Will OpenAI have an IPO soon?

Some might think that it is only a matter of time before OpenAI announces an IPO. Therefore, why get into the trouble of getting involved with indirect investing when one just needs to wait a little bit? Well, the waiting time may be a lot longer than you think.

In June 2023, Sam Altman quashed IPO speculations, as reported by Reuters during a conference in Abu Dhabi. Altman stated, “When we develop superintelligence, we are likely to make some decisions that most investors would look at very strangely.” In response to a question on whether he will take OpenAI public, he replied: “I don’t want to be sued by [...] public market, Wall Street, etc., so no, not that interested.”

Opting to wait could lead to substantial missed returns. As there’s no definitive future IPO date, the waiting period could potentially take multiple years. While investors in OpenAI might encounter lower liquidity compared to publicly traded assets, they stand to benefit from the advantages of private assets, such as, for instance, reduced volatility.

Who has already invested in OpenAI?

Huge household names back OpenAI’s development. The list of investors includes companies like Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, Sequoia Capital, Tiger Global Management, Y Combinator, Thrive Capital, and Andreessen Horowitz. Renowned as major players in the business development area, these companies only get involved with the most prospective and ambitious projects.

The future of OpenAI

Despite facing competition in the market, OpenAI possesses several competitive advantages that act as barriers to entry for potential newcomers. Its deep integrations into various systems and the establishment of user habits make it challenging for competitors to secure a presence in the AI realm.

For instance, while ChatGPT has over 14 billion all-time views, Bard only has 142 million. Even so, they are both available in 190+ countries worldwide, unlike ChatGPT’s rival, Claude, which is only present in the US and the UK, causing it to fall significantly behind its competitors. As a result, Moonshot anticipates that ChatGPT will expand its market share at a much faster pace than any of its rivals.

OpenAI’s overarching objective is to evolve into the platform of the future, securing recurring revenue from corporate clients. This future platform aims to be comprehensive, encompassing “everything plus AI.” Companies and individuals will not only use AI integrations for specific tasks but will actually integrate AI into every single aspect of their activities. AI will enhance each stage of creation, design, and production, becoming as ubiquitous as the internet is today.

To achieve this, the company will soon launch its new project – GPT Builder. This project is envisioned as “The App Store for AI Chatbots,” a system enabling anyone to personalize and share their AI assistants with natural language.

Microsoft, a key client of OpenAI, has already incorporated the company’s products into its suite, featuring the use of OpenAI’s code-generating AI (Codex) in its GitHub Copilot and the integration of ChatGPT into its search engine, Bing. Additionally, Microsoft includes OpenAI’s products in its Azure cloud computing service, contributing to Microsoft’s projected revenue of USD 40 billion over the next five years.

Bottom line

OpenAI is now known worldwide for its innovative solutions in artificial intelligence and continues to gain momentum. Waiting for IPO status to invest could mean missing out on substantial profits, given the company’s active growth trajectory and ongoing development of new technologies and features. Investing now through Moonshot’s offer will therefore likely prove to be much more advantageous.

With AI cementing its place in the future and proving it’s here to stay, OpenAI’s strategic plans promise to keep it at the forefront for years to come.
