OpenAI is aiming to become a publicly listed company in 2027, according to Chief Financial Officer Sarah Friar, who said the timetable could move up if the business grows faster than expected. Friar described an initial public offering as both a milestone and a financing channel for the company. She also pointed to OpenAI’s fundraising in March, when the company completed a $122 billion financing round, saying the deal gives it greater flexibility for future development. The comments outline a tentative listing goal rather than a fixed deadline, with earlier timing still possible if growth accelerates.

According to ChainCatcher, OpenAI Chief Financial Officer Sarah Friar said the company is targeting 2027 to become a publicly listed company, though that timeline could come forward if business growth accelerates.

Friar said an IPO would be both a milestone and a financing route. In March this year, OpenAI completed a $122 billion financing round, which she said gives the company greater flexibility for future development.
