OpenAI president Greg Brockman says company could be IPO ready in 2027

OpenAI could be ready for an IPO in 2027, according to president Greg Brockman, who cited accelerating enterprise revenue and an improving business outlook. The timeline is tentative, but it signals that OpenAI increasingly sees itself as a mature commercial platform rather than solely a research lab. For AI builders, a public listing could bring more financial transparency around model development, infrastructure spending, and enterprise adoption. It would also increase pressure on OpenAI to convert usage into durable revenue, potentially shaping API pricing, product priorities, and the pace at which new models and developer tools reach the market.
