## Resource

Bloomberg, citing the New York Times, reports that OpenAI is leaning toward waiting until 2027 to go public. The company has not filed an S-1 and may choose to remain private while scaling products and partnerships. Delaying a listing could allow OpenAI to stabilize revenue, improve unit economics, and navigate regulatory scrutiny. Remaining private preserves financing options such as structured rounds, strategic investments, and secondary tenders for employee liquidity. The timing affects valuation benchmarks for AI startups and influences partnership, procurement, and hiring decisions across the ecosystem.
