What's a 'funding round'?
A funding round is when a company raises money from investors, like OpenAI's recent £122 billion. These funds are crucial for growth, allowing companies to invest in research, development, and expansion, as OpenAI plans to do with its computing power. Investors hope the company's value will increase, giving them a return.
