$500 million in run-rate revenue

Absolutely astounding that they can raise $13B on a sixth round of funding on that.

For the less finance jargon savvy, “run-rate revenue” just means projected annual revenue.

500 million was specific to Claude Code, they are at 5 billion annual run rate and growing

  I see. That definitely makes 13B way more sane.

    They’ve raised $32 billion total. Does it still sound sane?

    5B run rate explains the wild 183B valuation better. The calculus is usually a solid return after 3 years and double or better by 5, so they’re being on something like a 500B valuation by 2030.
    
    And they very likely won’t be profitable in the real sense even then.

Anthropic’s news page is educational in every sense of the word.
