Salesforce, the enterprise software giant, now holds a stake in AI startup Anthropic worth approximately $5 billion, following a series of investments, Odaily reports. The company first participated in Anthropic's fundraising in early 2023 with an initial investment of about $50 million, and continued to follow on in subsequent rounds. During this period, Anthropic has emerged as one of the fastest-growing and most high-profile companies globally.
Another software company that profited handsomely from an early bet on Anthropic is Zoom Communications. By investing in Anthropic's Series C round in early 2023, Zoom has netted over $1 billion in gains from that stake.
