Gwyneth Paltrow allegedly set to throw dinner in honor of Sam Altman | TechCrunch

The actress' firm Kinship Ventures is an investor in the company.
Sam Altman is headed to the Hamptons, according to Puck. Gwyneth Paltrow is reportedly sending invites for a “private, off-the-record” dinner honoring the tech mogul on August 29 at her home out East.
Paltrow is an actress and founder of the wellness brand Goop. But she’s also a noted investor through her Kinship Ventures, which she launched in 2021 alongside Moj Mahdara. In 2023, reports said the firm was raising a $75 million fund, though it remains unclear whether it has closed. Kinship is also an investor in OpenAI (per SEC filings, her investment in OpenAI dates back to 2023) and other AI companies, including the vibe-coding tool Lovable and the AI-powered marketing platform Nectar Social.
We’ve reached out to Goop and OpenAI for comment. Over the past few years, Paltrow has become more outspoken about AI — she’s spoken about how she uses the tools to run her company, and her Goop Kitchen has signed a lease for the ground floor of Anthropic’s San Francisco HQ. Earlier this year, OpenAI hired Charles Porch, whom Vanity Fair called the “celebrity whisperer.”

Episode 6 — The Man Laura Called for Help
We stared at the four words hidden beneath the fold of Laura’s final letter. I called him. He’s coming. Nobody spoke. Thirty-five years of lies had brought us to an unnamed man. A man Laura trusted enough to call after midnight. A man who might have known she was at the bus station. And possibly the last person to see her alive. Sophie finally broke the silence. “Who is him?” Thomas looked down. Diane watched her husband. Arthur looked terrified. Michael was staring at the handwritin

My Mother Ran Away to Protect Me—Then I Learned What My Father Planned for My Husband
The second paragraph of my biological mother’s letter said: Robert was going to take Daniel away. And Thomas helped him prepare the papers. I stopped reading. My father was still on speakerphone. “Dad.” Silence.

My Father Admitted He Brought My Husband Into This Family—But Why?
My father called back eleven minutes later and said, “Claire, before I tell you anything, get Daniel out of that house.” I looked across the dusty bedroom. Daniel was still holding the hospital bracelet with his biological mother’s name on it. “Why?” “Because you’re not alone.” Every hair on my arms lifted. I turned toward the hallway. Nothing. “Dad, what are you talking about?” “The house.” “What about it?” “There’s someone else there.” Daniel heard him. He walked toward me. “Put

“The report says we’re related.” Daniel’s words stayed in my ear. I was still standing beside Lena at the bus station. “How related?” He didn’t answer. “Daniel.” “First cousins.” My stomach turned. Lena grabbed my arm. “That’s impossible.” Daniel heard her. “Apparently not.” “Read the laboratory name,” Lena said.

My Real Father Was the Reason Robert Took Daniel—And He’s Still Alive
Three seconds after Lena’s voicemail ended, Anna said, “I know who Claire’s father is.” Everyone turned toward her. I felt Daniel’s hand tighten around mine. “What did you say?” Anna didn’t look at me. She looked at Marianne. And Marianne suddenly looked terrified. “You promised me,” Marianne whispered. Anna shook her head. “No more promises.” I stepped between them. “You both know?” Marianne closed her eyes.

My husband was unconscious in the emergency room when his mother grabbed my wrist and whispered, “Whatever you find in his wallet, don’t go to that house.” I stared at her. “What house?” Her face changed immediately. “I shouldn’t have said anything.” That was when the nurse returned Daniel’s belongings to me. His phone. His watch. His wedding ring.
