Aa$30B cap raise for Anthropic

Great article by my friend , Leigh Golombik 

Anthropic has just secured $30B at a $380B Valuation as Claude Code Revenue Surges. This Series G round makes one of the most valuable private tech companies in the world. This ranks among the largest private tech financings ever recorded, second only to OpenAI’s $40 billion raise.

The driver behind this record-breaking valuation? Real, accelerating revenue.

• Anthropic reports its overall annualised revenue run rate has soared toward $14 billion, up dramatically from the prior year.
• Much of this growth is powered by Claude Code, the company’s AI-driven coding assistant, now contributing over $2.5 billion in run-rate revenue more than double since early 2026.

So - what this means is:

💡 AI tools are becoming mission-critical for enterprises across industries. Claude’s growth is a case in point. 

💡 Competition With OpenAI Heats Up with both Anthropic and OpenAI pursuing massive private capital and potential IPO plans, the AI funding race may reshape public markets soon. 

💡 Anthropic has signalled plans for major data centre investments and expanded enterprise offerings, positioning itself as a full-stack AI player. 

At a time when many sectors face uncertain growth prospects, Anthropic’s funding round is a clear reminder that the AI ecosystem continues to draw outsized capital and ambition.

Whether unlocking developer productivity, transforming enterprise workflows, or redefining the landscape of tech giants, AI platforms like #Claude are at the forefront of the next digital revolution.

🇸🇪 AI in Sweden: Everyone Wants to Ride the Train… But There Are No Tracks

Heard an amazing conversation with Eva Thunel & Magnus Saleti in Stockholm nd JT Foxx

Sweden is one of the most comfortable and efficient societies in the world—digital gov, trust, services that work.

But here’s the paradox:

When everything already works well, the urgency to innovate is lower.

Yet this is the country that gave us Spotify, IKEA, Klarna, Volvo, Ericsson.

And now tools like Lovell let you create an app in seconds. 🚀

The real opportunity isn’t hype—it’s rebuilding small businesses from the ground up with AI-native processes.

Today:

Everyone’s shouting about AI. But there are no tracks.

We need to build the foundations

• Standards
• Data flows
• Skills
• Infrastructure
• New business models

We’re not just taking the AI train — we’re laying down the tracks.
