OpenAI is burning $14B a year and buying distribution. The Uber playbook for AI.

And offering ~17.5% guaranteed? returns to firms like TPG and Advent International.

That's not funding. That's a land grab.

They're not raising capital. They're buying distribution.

Embedding AI across hundreds of portfolio companies.

Because once you're inside you don't get replaced.

Workflows shift. Teams adapt. Switching becomes painful.

You're no longer a tool. You're infrastructure.

Sam Altman gets it:

The bottleneck isn't intelligence. It's integration.

This is the Uber playbook. Lose now. Own the network later.

Meanwhile Anthropic is catching up.

So the game changes:

Don't just sell. Lock distribution.

Because once you're in you're in.

Most companies miss this. They build better products? and still lose.

I fix that.

If your pipeline feels off it's probably not sales. It's distribution.
