Anthropic is taking another major step toward what could become one of the largest technology initial public offerings in history, with Wall Street banks beginning meetings between the artificial intelligence startup's executives and potential investors ahead of a planned stock market debut.
According to CNBC, bankers leading Anthropic's IPO preparations have started arranging meetings with institutional investors to gauge demand before a formal roadshow and eventual share sale. The discussions indicate that the company's plans to go public are moving forward after it confidentially filed its registration paperwork with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission last month.
