Anthropic is organizing investor meetings ahead of a potential IPO this year, showcasing its readiness for the public market. The AI firm, which gained significant valuation recently, appears set to be one of the first major players in the AI sector to go public.
Anthropic is in the process of scheduling meetings with prospective investors, as it prepares for a potential initial public offering (IPO). Bankers are organizing these meetings to gauge investor interest before a formal roadshow and eventual share sale.
The AI startup is likely to hit the public markets as soon as October 2023, although this timeline may change. Anthropic filed a confidential IPO prospectus with the SEC last month, but specific details regarding the launch date have not been disclosed.
An IPO from Anthropic would follow the recent SpaceX IPO and indicates a further opening of public markets to AI companies. This move comes after a period during which top AI firms preferred to remain private while securing vast funding from investors.
Anthropic is set to go public ahead of OpenAI, which also filed for an IPO in June but has not shared further details. This could provide Anthropic with a competitive edge if enthusiasm for AI investment declines.
In May, Anthropic completed a funding round that valued the company at $965 billion, exceeding OpenAI's valuation of $852 billion for the first time. Major Wall Street banks like Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and JPMorgan Chase are involved in facilitating the IPO process.
