Anthropic is preparing for a historic IPO on November 18, 2023, that could raise up to $64.35 billion, valuing the AI startup at around $1 trillion. The company launched its roadshow on Tuesday, marketing 825 million shares priced between $70 and $78 each. This IPO would be the largest AI-deal to date, with valuation below the previously speculated $1.5 trillion mark.
To secure stakes in Anthropic, seven major tech firms including Alphabet, Nvidia, AMD, Broadcom, Micron, Microsoft, and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. have arranged a $26 billion private placement. These investors, with significant commercial relationships with Anthropic, could potentially benefit beyond share returns due to their involvement in Anthropic's infrastructure demands.
The IPO comes amid a tech market downturn, with the Nasdaq plunging 5.5% on November 5, just days after the midterm elections. This political climate has raised concerns about potential AI regulation. Despite this market turbulence, Anthropic's infrastructure commitments and the strong backing from top tech firms demonstrate a robust ecosystem for AI development.
