OpenAI’s Investors Are Hanging On For the Ride

OpenAI's investors are accustomed to turmoil. There’s been a steady stream of high-profile departures since last November, when CEO Sam Altman was fired in a board coup of cinematic proportions. 

That may be why its backers, though surprised by this week’s resignation of Chief Technology Officer Mira Murati and two other top technical leaders, aren’t running away from the startup’s huge funding round. Those that signed up to invest at a staggering $150 billion valuation knew what they were getting into. And now we have more details on who these investors are.
