Just 12 days after SpaceX filed its S-1 registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, another private-market giant has taken its first formal step toward the public markets.
Anthropic announced Monday that it has confidentially submitted a draft registration statement on Form S-1 to the SEC for a proposed initial public offering.
On the surface, the two companies couldn’t be more different.
SpaceX is building rockets, satellites and what could become the world’s most valuable communications network through Starlink. Anthropic is building large language models and competing with OpenAI, Alphabet Inc‘s (NASDAQ:GOOGL) (NASDAQ:GOOG) Google and others in the race to develop advanced artificial intelligence.
But on Wall Street, they may soon be competing for something much more important: investor attention.
