A $2.9M home in San Francisco’s Duboce Triangle is on the market with an unusual twist: the seller will accept shares of private AI companies like OpenAI or Anthropic as part of the payment. The pitch targets employees and early investors whose wealth is locked up in pre-IPO stock that’s hard to cash out.
