Anthropic disclosed a unique shareholding structure in its prospectus: a single Class F share was allocated to an entity called Founder LLC, representing 50.1% of the total voting power. Founder LLC consists of seven members, each with one vote, and decisions are made by majority vote, ensuring that the seven founders retain decision-making power regardless of equity dilution. These seven members include CEO Dario Amodei, President and Chairman of the Board Daniela Amodei, Chief Computing Officer Tom Brown, Public Interest Officer Jack Clark, Chief Scientific Officer Jared Kaplan, Chief Architect Sam McCandlish, and Chris Olah, responsible for AI explainability. Furthermore, the prospectus specifically notes that Ben Mann, often referred to as a co-founder, is not a member of Founder LLC and does not participate in the founders' absolute control voting.
