Anthropic just grew revenue about 45% in a single quarter, to $16.8B, and told investors it was profitable on an adjusted basis. The reported reaction: maybe the IPO is worth about $1.5T, not $2T. That's what it looks like to be priced on the curve, not the business.

His bet is that as coding gets democratised, domain experts, not only engineers, will ship a lot of the best software. That feels right from both the VC seat and the classroom.

Watching Anthropic builders talk shop on campus hits different after years in early-stage VC. The tools change, but the builder instincts don't.

Org design is wide open. Most structures still come from military hierarchy, and small AI-native teams already work in fundamentally different ways.

Having run an early-stage VC firm in Singapore, I recognise #1. The best founders I backed weren't running last cycle's playbook. They built where others saw chaos.
