OpenAI’s Windsurf deal is off, and Windsurf’s CEO is going to Google

Just curious - would this negatively affect OpenAI's ability to acquire companies in the future?

They have got get their act together from a structure standpoint or these types of acquisitions are going keep failing.

This isn’t a great look for OpenAI, but acquisitions fall through all the time.

The issue isn’t an acquisition not working out, it’s that the founding/exec team felt it appropriate to arrange their own exits and abandon their team before even communicating that their “successful exit” wasn’t actually happening.
