Anthropic designs a voting structure to keep founders in control after its IPO
Anthropic, an AI lab incorporated in 2021 as a Public Benefit Corporation, plans to go public in mid-November. Its seven co-founders, including Dario and Daniela Amodei, have designed a structure to retain control: a Founder LLC will receive a single Class F share that will hold 50.1% of the voting power on certain shareholder decisions, separating administrative control from economic ownership, a mechanism similar to Palantir's.
