Three years ago, a tiny private startup raised its first big round of funding.
Fast-forward to today, and its early investors are already sitting on gains of 95x.
I believe even more gains are ahead.
But to tap into them, you need to know how to get in now, before the IPO.
So today, that’s what I’ll show you how to do.
The AI Powerhouse You’ve Probably Never Heard Of
The company I’m writing about today is called Anthropic.
Here’s its CEO, Dario Amodei:
Anthropic is one of the leaders in artificial intelligence. It was founded by former researchers from OpenAI, the organization behind ChatGPT. Its mission is to build safer, more reliable AI systems. Its flagship product is Claude, an AI model designed to compete with ChatGPT.
Many developers and businesses prefer Claude to ChatGPT because of its emphasis on safety, reliability, and reasoning. And Anthropic has already attracted some very powerful allies…
For starters, a top venture-capital firm called Spark Capital led an investment in Anthropic in early 2023, when the company was valued at roughly $4 billion.
Today, Anthropic is valued at $380 billion. In other words, Spark’s investment has already increased by nearly 100x — enough to turn every $10k it invested into $1 million.
Giants like Amazon and Google have invested billions into Anthropic, too. Why? Because AI is the most important technological race of our era, and Anthropic is one of the frontrunners.
A Future Member of the “Mag 7”?
You’re probably familiar with the Magnificent 7 — the seven giant tech companies that dominate today’s stock market:
Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, Nvidia, and Tesla.
These companies have created trillions of dollars in wealth for their investors. But here’s the thing: every generation produces a new wave of giants. And many analysts believe Anthropic is poised to become one of these new giants.
After all, artificial intelligence is expected to transform nearly every industry on earth — from healthcare and finance to logistics and manufacturing. That’s why, if Anthropic continues to lead this revolution, its valuation could climb far beyond today’s levels.
How Investors Are Getting Access Today
Most investors assume they can’t get exposure to private startups like Anthropic. But several potential paths exist to get in. Here are two you should know about.
1. Private Market Profits
If you’re a member of our premium research service, Private Market Profits, check out our special report: “The Private Mag 7.”
In that report, you’ll learn how certain investors can get access to the seven private companies, including Anthropic, that are poised to become the new Mag 7 stocks.
(If you’re not already a member of Private Market Profits, you can learn more about it here.)
For investors seeking early exposure to the next generation of tech giants, Private Market Profits can show you the way.
2. A New Fund Is Launching Soon
There’s also a second way you might be able to get exposure to Anthropic.
Powerlaw Capital Group is about to launch a new, publicly-traded fund that includes stakes in several private startups including Anthropic, Anduril, and SpaceX.
But in my opinion, there’s an important catch here: it will be structured as a closed-end fund.
Such funds can offer low minimum investments — perhaps as low as $25. But as I’ve written many times before (most recently, here), closed-end funds carry certain risks…
For example, their share price often has little to do with the value — the “net asset value,” or NAV — of the companies inside the fund. Such funds can trade at big premiums or discounts, or swing violently between the two extremes. And those distortions can persist for years.
In other words, even if the startups inside the portfolio succeed wildly, the fund’s share price might not follow. Instead, the price will likely be driven largely by investor sentiment.
That’s a recipe for distortion.
The Big Picture
All investments, including Powerlaw’s new fund, have pros and cons. But the bigger takeaway here is hard to ignore:
Three years ago, Anthropic was a tiny startup. Today, its early investors are already sitting on gains of ~100x.
It’s rare to see that kind of wealth creation in the public markets. Nowadays, the main place to find gains like that is in the private markets. That’s why we spend so much time at Crowdability helping you get exposure to these opportunities.
Because if the next generation of tech giants is being built right now, you’ll want to make sure you’re not hearing about them for the first time after they’ve already gone public.
You’ll want to get exposure before their IPOs — when the potential gains are still the biggest.
Happy investing,
