OpenAI now projects $125B in revenue in 2029, with $25B of that from new products not yet announced. If they hit it, the current valuation ($300B) will be a steal; Google does ~$400B in revenue and is worth $2T

This is a fantastic post about QSBS tax savings for startup employees. I recently did a post about QSBS stacking & packing strategies, as well as how GPs can get their 2% mgt fees taxed as capital gains. Your co-founder Alejandro follows me, love what you guys are doing!.
