Have there been deals like this before in the industry? (with the same express purpose as this, which is to say, creating a dedicated permanent capital vehicle that acquires + holds legacy businesses (e.g. accounting, IT services, etc) to transform them with AI agents using an equity-holding tech partner (OpenAI) to train models for tasks with company-specific data)? Feels new to me.
