AI safety and research company behind the Claude models.
Around 4,703 people on the team.
Anthropic, the US AI safety and research company behind the Claude models, sits at the dense center of this network with a maximum connection score of 100, backed by a mix of sovereign and strategic capital including GIC, Coatue, Amazon, Blackstone, Google, Qatar Investment Authority, Sequoia Capital, and Temasek. Through shared investors it links most tightly to OpenAI (10 common backers) and Databricks (9), placing it in a core AI and infrastructure cluster that also reaches Ramp (8), Legora (7), Stripe (6), and Snyk (6). The presence of Amazon, Google, and Sequoia across these ties marks this as the heavily cross-funded frontier AI cluster, with weaker but real links out to Vercel (5) and Wayve (5). With $126950M raised across 12 rounds and a 4703-person team concentrated in the San Francisco Bay Area (25%) and New York (15%), it is one of the most capitalized and centrally positioned nodes in the graph.
