Summary
Aug. 29 invitations are reportedly going out for a private, off-the-record dinner at Gwyneth Paltrow’s Hamptons home honoring OpenAI chief Sam Altman, according to Puck.
Kinship Ventures — the investment firm Paltrow launched in 2021 with Moj Mahdara — has backed OpenAI since 2023, and was reported that year to be raising a $75 million fund.
Paltrow has grown more public about AI’s role in her businesses, saying she uses the tools at Goop, while Goop Kitchen has leased space in Anthropic’s San Francisco headquarters.
The dinner adds to OpenAI’s widening ties to celebrity and consumer circles after the company earlier this year hired Charles Porch, described by Vanity Fair as a “celebrity whisperer.”
