Anthropic's 7 co-founders to split $200B stake equally

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Anthropic's seven co-founders are set to receive nearly equal stakes in the company, potentially worth up to $200 billion collectively upon an IPO. This egalitarian approach to founder equity, which includes identical stock options and restricted stock units for all seven, is unusual for a company of this scale. Siblings Dario and Daniela Amodei, serving as CEO and President/Chairperson respectively, receive the same compensation and equity as the other five co-founders, deviating from typical hierarchical pay structures.
