Anthropic, a leading AI startup known for its Claude chatbot, is planning one of the largest IPOs in the tech industry. According to industry reports, the company has hired law firm Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, which has been involved in prominent tech IPOs such as Google and LinkedIn. These moves suggest Anthropic could potentially go public as early as next year.
The company, led by CEO Dario Amodei, is also seeking a private funding round that could value it at over $300 billion. Microsoft and NVIDIA have already pledged a combined commitment of $15 billion. These investments underscore the tech giants’ confidence in the future of Anthropic and its AI innovations.
The IPO plans come as OpenAI, the developer of ChatGPT, is also considering similar moves. Although OpenAI recently completed a $6.6 billion share offering, the company’s CFO has stated that an IPO is not imminent. These developments could prompt investors to rethink their strategies in an increasingly crowded AI market.
Anthropic has undergone significant changes recently, including the hiring of Krishna Rao, a former Airbnb executive who played a key role in the company’s IPO in 2020. The company has also massively expanded its infrastructure, with new data centers in Texas and New York, and tripled its international workforce. These expansions are part of Anthropic’s strategy to overtake OpenAI in the AI space.
The potential IPOs of Anthropic and OpenAI are seen as a test of willingness to invest in loss-making AI startups, especially amid growing fears of an AI bubble. However, an Anthropic spokesperson stressed that no final decisions have been made on the timing or implementation of an IPO. The coming months could be crucial in determining how the market for AI startups develops and what role Anthropic will play in it.
