According to a report on September 25, AI company Anthropic is seeking shareholder approval to grant its seven co-founders 50.1% voting control ahead of a potential initial public offering (IPO). The move, reported by financial news outlet Cailianshe, would concentrate voting power among the founding team before the company goes public. This governance structure is similar to dual-class share arrangements used by some tech companies to maintain founder control post-IPO. The report does not specify the timeline for the IPO or the shareholder vote.
