Anthropic's IPO roadshow just kicked off at a $1.26 to $1.41 trillion valuation, a steep comedown from the $2 trillion once floated, with pricing set for November 18th. Dario Amodei and the founders are keeping majority voting power while 97% of shares raise fresh cash, not an exit. The real question is whether Claude's revenue growth can justify the risk investors are taking on.
