## Bio

Samuel Harris Altman was born April 22, 1985. He left Stanford after two years to co-found Loopt, a geosocial networking service that sold to Green Dot Corporation for $43.4 million. In 2011 he joined Y Combinator and ran it as president from 2014 to 2019, building a portfolio that includes Reddit, Worldcoin, and Helion Energy—enough to make him a billionaire. He co-founded OpenAI in 2015 and took the CEO chair in 2019. Under him the company released ChatGPT in November 2022, the shot that turned AI from a tech-section story into a general panic. A year later the board ousted him for not being "consistently candid"; employee and investor backlash forced his return in five days with a new board in place.
