Anthropic has received expressions of interest from investors who want to put money into the AI startup at an $800 billion valuation, but the company has no current plans to raise money.
Those were among the details in a profile of Anthropic Chief Financial Officer Krishna Rao published by #The Information . A decision on raising more money likely won’t happen until after Anthropic’s May board meeting, a person with knowledge of the company’s plans told The Information. Some Anthropic investors believe the company could fetch a $1 trillion valuation, which would represent more than 2.5 times its $380 billion valuation in January.
Rao has guided Anthropic through multiple fundraising rounds since he joined Anthropic in 2024. He has also pushed the company to expand its relationship with multiple cloud computing and chip providers.
