What recent changes has Anthropic made regarding secondary sales?
Are there really enough developers in all of the solar system to keep Anthropic on the unprecedented growth path we have this year? There are categories of software where if they don't have a reason to exist in an agentic world, they will go into a terminal state of decay. If you're not accelerating, you're going to be destroyed, right? And at a minimum, you've got to raise guidance. I think Zoom Info's growth was stolen from it from Clay and Friends, and it's a brutal case study. It's a brutal case study.
Give me 30% growth, give me profits, give me a story that's got some future in it, and I'll get you back to five times. There you go. In capitalism, great.
This is 20VC with me, Harry Stebbings.
Why is Anthropic buying compute capacity from Elon Musk?
It is my favorite show of the week, Rory O'Driscoll, Jason Lemkin, here to discuss the biggest news in tech this week. Anthropic partners with SpaceX to use their Colossus One data center, a mega move for both Elon and Dario. Plus, they commit $200 billion to Google over five years. Cerebrus IPO is 20x oversubscribed, and they bumped the range to $150 to $160. Then, Ramp eyes a $40 billion valuation on their new fundraise.
What does Anthropic's $200 billion commitment to Google mean for the company?
And finally, Applovin, HubSpot, Cloudflare post banging numbers, but the street doesn't necessarily share the optimism. What is going on? We analyze the public markets.
