Anthropic has just raised $13 billion in a series F at $183 billion valuation.

Today on the podcast, I want to talk about basically their meteoric rise, their last rounds of

funding, how much they've grown, what their usage statistics are, and why their CEO,

Dario Amadeo is actually complaining about some of their investors calling them quote-unquote

bad guys.

It's really interesting.

We're going to be diving into all of that.

Before we do, I wanted to mention that my own startup, AI Box, has finally launched our

AI app builder.

So if you've ever wanted to be able to basically build an app with no code, an AI workflow

where you prompt like you would to chat

GPT and explain the tool you want and have us create it. I would love for you to go check it out

on AIbox.a.I've built a bunch of really interesting tools recently. One of them is a YouTube

generator and they can create thumbnails and scripts and ideas for stories that I'll be writing. So I think there's a lot of really amazing possibilities that you can see in the space, but you go to the platform, describe your tool, and have it automatically generate it. So if that sounds interesting to you, you can go over to AIbox. AI and check it out. I would love to hear your thoughts. We're always adding new features. All right, let's get over to what's happening with Anthropic. So they just raised this $13 billion. And what's really interesting here is this came from a bunch of different investors. Now, once you start getting into these higher numbers, you have a certain group of investors that tends to be into these. You're not getting a lot of the smaller VCs. You're getting a lot of the bigger players. And so here we have Fidelity Management and Research Company,

light speed venture partners. They also have Coat, D1 Capital Partners, Insight Partners,

the Ontario Teachers Pension Plan, which as a Canadian, I always think is funny that, yeah,

I feel like Ottawa and Ontario, they have these like pension plans that are always investing in stuff. And you hear about them usually when they

invest in something like FTX and it goes bankrupt. And then, you know, they're like complaining

that the company going bankrupt is like bad for teachers because their pensions are getting lost.

And I'm like, why are we investing pensions and startups that, you know, aren't always 100% guaranteed to

grow?

Anyways, the, that's, you know, I think those are some of the ones you'd expect.
