OpenAI would have paid $400M or more for the latest AI hotness.
My guess if this guy has taken a job for maybe $1M, effectively handing over the crown jewels to Altman for nothing.
OpenAI must be laughing their heads off.
Beads and blankets.
Didn’t he make this in a month or two? That’s a great ROI
He's an experienced founder (psPdfKit)!
What crown jewels? Isn't openclaw, errr "open" source?
Elastic (Elasticsearch) – ~6.5 B USD
MongoDB – ~30 B USD
Docker – Private (~2+ B USD last valuation)
Redis Ltd. – Private (~2 B USD last valuation)
Grafana Labs – Private (~6 B USD last valuation)
Confluent (Apache Kafka) – ~11 B USD
Cloudera (Apache Hadoop) – 5.3 B USD (acquired)
SUSE Linux – ~2.5 B USD
Red Hat – 34 B USD (acquired)
HashiCorp – 6.4 B USD (acquired)
Did claudebot have paying customers? My understanding with these companies is that you buy the market, the product can just be forked (like Amazon did)
