Anthropic: AI Startup Setting New Benchmarks

Anthropic, one of the fastest-growing startups in artificial intelligence, is actively negotiating to raise $2 billion in a deal valued at $60 billion. This valuation is more than three times its value from a year ago. The lead investor in this round is Lightspeed Venture Partners, while last year, Anthropic was valued at $18 billion in a round led by Menlo Ventures.

This deal places Anthropic among the top five most valuable startups in the United States, alongside SpaceX, OpenAI, Stripe, and Databricks. Its success underlines the transformative potential of artificial intelligence technologies.

The AI sector has seen significant growth in high-value transactions. For example, OpenAI raised $6.6 billion in October, nearly doubling its valuation to $157 billion. Similarly, Elon Musk's xAI and Perplexity recently secured funding rounds with substantial valuation increases.

Raison provides its clients exclusive access to such high-profile opportunities, offering investment options previously reserved for leading venture capital funds. In May 2023, we invested in Anthropic, acquiring shares at $13.01. We recorded a profit for our clients by selling the first batch at $46 and re-entered the company directly in March 2024, acquiring shares at $36.

This growth underscores the potential of AI technologies and presents exceptional opportunities for investors ready to engage with the global trends shaping our future.
