OpenAI Launches $4B Enterprise Consulting Subsidiary (DeployCo)

May 11: OpenAI launched the OpenAI Deployment Company with $4B+ from TPG, Goldman Sachs, McKinsey, Bain Capital, and Capgemini as co-investors. The model copies Palantir's playbook: Forward Deployed Engineers embedded inside client organizations to build AI workflows in production, not pilots. OpenAI simultaneously acquired Tomoro (150 engineers) for initial capacity. This is a direct response to losing enterprise API share (reportedly ~50% in 2023 to ~25% mid-2025) to Anthropic and Google.
