The market will resolve YES if OpenAI announces any more acquisitions for more than $100M
the $100M can be either confirmed as acquisition price, as reported by TechCrunch or other major tech publications
OR if the company being acquired raised over $100M in venture capital
Gray area cases will be decided by common sense and judgement.
Separate acquisitions adding up to $100M do NOT resolve in a YES.
The deal must be a single acquisition for over $100M or of a company that has raised $100M+
The market will resolve NO at the end of 2024 if no such acquisition can be confirmed.
OpenAI acquired "Multi" -- a video calling platform for remote teams.
There is no evidence that the deal was $100M+ but if it is... we will resolve the market.
Looks like acquihire for a company that wasn't doing that well.
