# OpenAI Deployment Company JV
On May 4, 2026, [[OpenAI]] finalized a $10B joint venture with 19 global investment firms, consultancies, and system integrators to deploy enterprise AI. [[TPG]] is the lead founding partner, with [[Advent International]], [[Bain Capital]], and [[Brookfield Asset Management]] as co-lead founding partners. The venture is anchored operationally by OpenAI's acquisition of [[Tomoro]] (~150 Forward Deployed Engineers).
## Significance

The 19-firm consortium is the most ambitious AI-services partnership disclosed to date and brings private-equity capital and consultancy distribution to bear on enterprise model deployment. [[TPG]], [[Advent International]], [[Bain Capital]], and [[Brookfield Asset Management]] all surfaced through this transaction.
