Anthropic IPO: Five things to know before its Wall Street debut
The Claude developer is preparing for a potentially record-breaking initial public offering after rapid revenue growth, but its enormous losses and dispute with the Trump administration could concern investors.
Anthropic, a company that develops AI technology, is expected to go public soon with a potentially record-breaking initial public offering. The company was founded in 2021 by former OpenAI executives, including CEO Dario Amodei and his sister Daniela Amodei, who is also the company's president. According to PitchBook, Anthropic has 5,000 employees.
Anthropic has focused on building a platform for computer programmers, which has paid off as coding is a rare AI skill that users are willing to pay for. Its assistant for developers, Claude Code, has become one of the company's most popular products. The company has experienced rapid revenue growth, but also enormous losses and a dispute with the Trump administration, which may concern investors, according to Euronews.
Anthropic's upcoming listing could eclipse SpaceX's record Wall Street debut in June. The company's strategy has allowed it to move from being in second place to OpenAI to a more competitive position this year. OpenAI had burst onto the scene with ChatGPT in November 2022, transforming the tech industry and triggering an AI arms race.
