 Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei runs the fastest-growing major company in history like a mission, not a business—and some investors are uneasy ahead of the AI firm’s expected September IPO. He rejected a charm offensive, overruled his finance team on safety costs, and clashed with the Pentagon and White House. Yet Anthropic’s valuation has hit $965 billion, with revenue run rate estimated near $70 billion. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei runs the fastest-growing major company in history like a mission, not a business—and some investors are uneasy ahead of the AI firm’s expected September IPO.
