He also suggested OpenAI could go public in 2027, though he did not confirm a timeline or specific plans. OpenAI has been expanding its sales efforts to compete with Anthropic, which is reportedly preparing for its own IPO before the end of the year, according to Reuters. Brockman highlighted the company’s Codex agent as part of its push into business sales.\n\nThe timing of OpenAI’s IPO remains uncertain, as the company has delayed previous plans amid fundraising efforts. Brockman’s comments indicate growing confidence in its enterprise growth, but no official IPO announcement or valuation was made. Anthropic’s potential IPO could create additional pressure on OpenAI’s timeline.","keyPoints":["Greg Brockman says OpenAI now earns majority of revenue from enterprise sales, per Reuters","OpenAI may go public in 2027, Brockman says, but no confirmation or timeline given","OpenAI is competing with Anthropic for enterprise clients, focusing on Codex agent"],"whyItMatters":"A majority shift to enterprise revenue signals OpenAI’s pivot toward business customers, which could accelerate its IPO timeline and influence AI adoption in corporate workflows.","category":{"slug":"business","name":"Business & Funding","url":"https://digestai.news/category/business"},"entities":{"companies":["OpenAI","Anthropic","Wall Street Journal"],"models":[],"people":["Greg Brockman"]},"firstPublishedAt":"2026-11-04T13:05:00Z","updatedAt":"2026-11-05T02:33:04Z","sourceCount":2,"hasPrimarySource":false,"sources":[{"outlet":"wkzo.com","title":"OpenAI, ready to IPO in 2027, now counts majority of sales from enterprises, Brockman says","url":"https://wkzo.com/2026/11/04/openai-ready-to-ipo-in-2027-now-counts-majority-of-sales-from-enterprises-brockman-says","publishedAt":"2026-11-04T13:05:00Z","type":"press","primary":false,"lead":true},{"outlet":"Unite.AI","title":"OpenAI’s Enterprise Sales Take Majority as Brockman Sees IPO Readiness","url":"https://unite.ai/openais-enterprise-sales-take-majority-as-brockman-sees-ipo-readiness","publishedAt":"2026-11-05T02:33:04Z","type":"press","primary":false,"lead":false}],"sourceNotes":null,"discussions":[],"thread":{"title":"Anthropic's Billion Dollar Losses Precede Historic IPO","url":"https://digestai.news/thread/anthropic-reports-16-8-billion-revenue-for-julyseptember-quarter","storyCount":5},"cite":{"text":"Digest AI, \"OpenAI president says majority of sales now come from enterprises, IPO likely in 2027\", 4 November 2026, https://digestai.news/story/openai-president-says-majority-of-sales-now-come-from-enterprises-ipo","publisher":"Digest AI","title":"OpenAI president says majority of sales now come from enterprises, IPO likely in 2027","datePublished":"2026-11-04T13:05:00Z","url":"https://digestai.news/story/openai-president-says-majority-of-sales-now-come-from-enterprises-ipo"},"generatedBy":"Written by Digest AI's editorial model from the linked sources; the sources are the record.","license":"Headlines, digests and key points are written by Digest AI and may be quoted with a link to the story page.
