OpenAI President: Revenue Mostly Enterprise, IPO-Ready by 2027

KEY FACTS

OpenAI President Brockman said at The Wall Street Journal's tech conference that most of the company's current revenue comes from enterprise customers.
Brockman said OpenAI will be ready to go public in 2027, and when asked whether it could IPO next year, he answered, "I think so."
OpenAI is stepping up enterprise sales, promoting products such as the Codex agent as it competes with Anthropic.
Anthropic is expected to go public before the end of this year, while OpenAI had previously delayed its listing plans.

PHYSIX OBSERVATION

OpenAI putting its IPO timeline on the table shows enterprise customer revenue can now support a steadier business story. But rival Anthropic is racing to list first, and the window in the enterprise AI market is narrowing; whoever secures public-market ammunition first will have more confidence when fighting for customers. For users, intensifying enterprise product competition could bring faster tool iteration and price wars sooner.
