Yasmin Razavi's $75M Anthropic bet yields $3B return

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Venture capitalist Yasmin Razavi has achieved a remarkable return on her investment in AI startup Anthropic, turning an initial $75 million into at least $3 billion. Razavi led a significant $450 million funding round for Anthropic in May 2023, at a time when many investors were hesitant about the company's prospects. Her conviction in Anthropic's team, which included former OpenAI employees, has paid off handsomely as the company's valuation has soared, driven by successful products like Claude Code and the new Mythos model.
