美国社交媒体平台Reddit于近日向美国证券交易委员会（SEC）提交了首次公开募股（IPO）申请，一份相关文件揭示了一个引人注目的细节：OpenAI的首席执行官萨姆·奥特曼已成为Reddit的主要股东之一。据文件披露，奥特曼名下的实体持有Reddit公司8.7%的流通股份，其中包括789,456股A类股和11,400,000股B类股。
奥特曼对Reddit的深厚兴趣可以追溯到2014年，当时他领投了Reddit的5000万美元B轮融资。他在当时的博客文章中透露，自己在长达九年的时光里，每天都活跃在Reddit平台上。Reddit在2021年上半年进行了E轮融资，奥特曼再次注资5000万美元。不仅如此，他在同年下半年又追加了1000万美元的投资，显示出对Reddit的持续看好和坚定支持。
这一消息使得Reddit的IPO前景更受关注，奥特曼作为人工智能领域的知名人士和Reddit的重度用户，其影响力和投资决策可能对Reddit的未来战略和市场定位产生深远影响。结合其在OpenAI的背景，Reddit在内容推荐和人工智能应用方面的创新或许将得到进一步推动。随着Reddit准备进入公开市场，奥特曼的股东身份无疑为这个社交平台的未来发展增添了新的看点。
