Anthropic's new S-1 filing discloses how many shares each of its seven co-founders plan to sell in the company's IPO. Each founder will sell 3,378,378 shares.
Anthropic has set an initial price range of $70 to $78 per share. At the midpoint of $74, each founder would receive just under $250 million. At $70, the figure is just over $236 million. At $78, it is just under $264 million.
The report notes that companies can often price shares above the initial range in IPOs with high demand. The filing points to strong interest. Board member Reed Hastings has indicated he wants to buy $300 million worth of shares through his donor-advised fund. Board member Christopher Liddell wants to buy $3 million worth of shares.
The seven co-founders are Dario Amodei, CEO; Daniela Amodei, president and chair of the board; Tom Brown, chief compute officer; Jack Clark, head of public benefit; Jared Kaplan, chief science officer; Sam McCandlish, chief architect; and Christopher Olah, interpretability research lead.
After the sale, each founder will own about 3.2% of the total outstanding Class A shares, or roughly 22% collectively, according to the S-1. The report says
