Tioex Boosts AI Investment Portfolio with Strategic Stakes in OpenAI and Databricks Following Rapid US Expansion

Johan Hägglund, CEO and Founder

Tioex, a fast-growing member-based investment platform, today announced a substantial leap in its AI investment strategy, securing significant positions in leading U.S. tech innovators OpenAI and Databricks. The firm has acquired existing shares valued at over $2 million, with approximately $1.5 million directed toward OpenAI—pioneers of the revolutionary language model ChatGPT—and $500,000 toward Databricks, a trailblazer in data analytics and machine learning founded in 2013.

This move underscores Tioex's commitment to democratizing access to high-growth pre-IPO tech companies for smaller private investors. The firm has previously facilitated investments in high-profile tech giants like SpaceX, Einride, Northvolt, and Klarna, continuing to lower barriers for retail investors seeking to tap into emerging tech opportunities.

“We’re thrilled to have secured stakes in two of the most dynamic tech companies shaping the future of AI—OpenAI and Databricks. The enthusiasm for AI-driven investments among our members is at an all-time high, and we’re strategically positioned to explore the vast opportunities across the AI landscape,” said Johan Hägglund, founder and CEO of Tioex.

Accelerated Growth and U.S. Expansion
Tioex's momentum has surged in 2024, with the firm tripling its number of investments compared to the same period last year. This growth has been bolstered by the company's successful entry into the U.S. market, where it has quickly facilitated investments in several leading pre-IPO companies, including Anthropic, Databricks, and OpenAI.

Looking ahead, Tioex is poised to further accelerate its international expansion, with plans to launch a new platform, forge new partnerships, and unlock more global investment opportunities.

“The past six months have been transformative, with our members mobilizing more capital in each investment round. Our international footprint is expanding rapidly—30 percent of participants in our recent SpaceX round were international investors—and we’re committed to broadening access to these high-potential investment opportunities across borders,” Hägglund added.
