Breaking: Open AI announces $1.5 Million Bonus for Every Employee

OpenAI is definitely scorching the market - but it would be interesting to see what the mix of that $1.5M is - probably not all cash. OpenAI has a unique new flavor of equity compensation called Profit Participation Units.

Equity-Like Component (“Profit Participation Units” or PPUs): Instead of traditional stock options or RSUs, OpenAI offers Profit Participation Units. PPUs entitle employees to a share of the company’s profits if it is successful. They typically vest over four years (25% per year) and are a large part of the total pay package (in many cases, worth several hundred thousand dollars or more annually). PPUs are not traditional equity, but are structured for tax efficiency and aim to align employee incentives with the company’s growth.

Seems like they have been doling these out more liberally recently as they race to profitability.

San Francisco literally only does gold rushes. It always has, and probably always will.

Good point ! San Francisco is built for and from Gold Rushes. And as many have said, it's the suppliers to the Gold Rushes that live on after the Gold Rushes Peter out. Levis, Wells Fargo and Armour Meats were all born and remaining survivors of the 1849 Gold Rush !
