Thrive Holdings

words.

OpenAI has taken an equity stake in Thrive Holdings, a new operating platform launched by Thrive Capital, embedding its engineering, research and product teams within Thrive’s portfolio companies—primarily in accounting, IT services and other “core economy” sectors. The deal ties OpenAI’s equity upside to the growth of these businesses and creates a recurring revenue stream for its AI services, reflecting a broader “circular” strategy that mixes licensing with equity participation. Concurrently, OpenAI will deploy ChatGPT Enterprise to tens of thousands of Accenture employees.
