## OpenAI Cautions Against Unauthorized Investment Vehicles
OpenAI has issued a stern warning to the public and potential investors regarding “unauthorized” investment vehicles, specifically calling out Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) and other instruments that claim to offer equity or stakes in the company.
The AI giant clarified that it does not endorse or participate in such external investment schemes. These warnings come amidst a growing landscape of entities attempting to capitalize on OpenAI’s prominence by soliciting funds through unofficial channels, often misrepresenting an affiliation or future payout linked to the company’s success.
OpenAI urges investors to exercise extreme caution and conduct thorough due diligence, emphasizing that any legitimate investment opportunities would be communicated directly through official channels. The company’s stance aims to protect the public from potential fraud and misrepresentation, ensuring transparency in how its capital is raised and managed.
