随着 Anthropic 朝着可能使其估值达到 1.4 万亿美元 的巨额首次公开募股(IPO)迈进,该公司在其新的 S-1 文件中披露了其七位联合创始人计划出售的股份数量。
每位创始人将出售 3,378,378 股。Anthropic 设定了一个 unusually broad(异常宽泛)的首次发行价格区间,为每股 70 至 78 美元。在中间价 74 美元时,每位创始人将获得略低于 2.5 亿美元的收入。
在最低端 70 美元时,每人只能获得略高于 2.36 亿美元的现金;在最高端 78 美元时,每人将获得略低于 2.64 亿美元的收入。
然而,对于如此备受期待的一次 IPO,公司通常可以将股价定在初始区间之上。
S-1 文件已经暗示了高需求。董事会成员里德·黑斯廷斯(Reed Hastings)表示,他希望通过其捐赠人建议基金购买价值 3 亿美元的股票。董事会成员克里斯托弗·利德尔(Christopher Liddell)也想购买价值 300 万美元的股票。
这七位联合创始人分别是:首席执行官达里奥·阿莫迪(Dario Amodei)、总裁兼董事会主席丹妮拉·阿莫迪(Daniela Amodei)、首席计算官汤姆·布朗(Tom Brown)、公共利益主管杰克·克拉克(Jack Clark)、首席科学官贾里德·卡普兰(Jared Kaplan,见上图)、首席架构师萨姆·麦坎德利什(Sam McCandlish)以及可解释性研究负责人克里斯托弗·奥拉赫(Christopher Olah)。
S-1 文件称,出售之后,他们每个人将拥有约 3.2% 的已发行 A 类总股份,或者 collectively(集体)约占 22%。但这并不是他们在整个公司中的持股比例。A 类只是 Anthropic 众多股份类别中的一种,其他持有者包括亚马逊和谷歌,持有无投票权的 N 类股份,因此创始人在公司总股权中的份额将小得多。尽管如此,作为一个群体,他们仍然控制着公司。每个人还将获得一股 F 类股票,该股票带有超级投票权。 collectively(集体),创始人将控制 51.1% 的投票权,但没有单一创始人持有的股份或投票权显著多于其他人。
正如现在的行业传闻那样,这七人在 2021 年因与 OpenAI 领导层在如何构建 AI 方面存在分歧而离开 OpenAI 创立了 Anthropic。曾在 OpenAI 担任高级研究和政策职务的兄妹达里奥和阿莫迪(Dario and Daniela Amodei),与五位前 OpenAI 同事一起成立了一家公司,这家公司从一开始就非常公开地表示,与其竞争对手(包括创始人的前雇主)相比,它更专注于 AI 安全。

As Anthropic barrels toward an enormous IPO that could value it at $1.4 trillion, the company has disclosed a tidbit in its new S-1 filing about how many shares each of its seven co-founders plan to sell.
Each will sell 3,378,378 shares. Anthropic has floated an unusually broad initial price range of $70 to $78 a share. At the midrange of $74, each founder would take in just shy of $250 million.
At the low end, $70, each would have to settle for pocketing just over $236 million in cash; at the high end, $78, each would take in just under $264 million.
However, in an IPO as eagerly anticipated as this one, companies can often price shares above the initial range.
The S-1 is already hinting at high demand. Board member Reed Hastings has indicated he wants to buy $300 million worth of shares through his donor-advised fund. Board member Christopher Liddell also 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 (pictured above); Sam McCandlish, chief architect; and Christopher Olah, interpretability research lead.
After the sale, each of them will own about 3.2% of the total outstanding Class A shares, the S-1 says, or roughly 22% collectively. That’s not their share of the company overall. Class A is just one of Anthropic’s share classes, and other holders, including Amazon and Google, hold nonvoting Class N shares, so the founders’ stake in the company’s total equity will be considerably smaller. Even still, they, as a group, remain in control of the company. Each will also receive one share of Class F stock, which carries supervoting rights. Collectively, the founders will control 51.1% of the votes, but no single founder will hold significantly more shares or votes than the others.
As is now industry lore, the seven left OpenAI to start Anthropic in 2021 after disagreements with OpenAI’s leadership over how AI should be built. Siblings Dario and Daniela Amodei, who held senior research and policy roles at OpenAI, were joined by five fellow OpenAI colleagues in forming a company that has said, very publicly and from the start, that it’s more focused on AI safety than its rivals, including the founders’ former employer.
