Anthropic, an artificial intelligence company, has seen its revenue run rate jump to $47 billion, according to recent figures. That is a sharp rise from $9 billion in 2025. A venture capitalist who invested early in the company says this kind of growth is unlike anything he has seen in his career.
Matt Murphy, a partner at Menlo Ventures, said that in 25 years of investing, he has never witnessed such rapid expansion—not during the internet boom, the mobile revolution, or the early cloud computing wave. Menlo Ventures led Anthropic’s $500 million Series D funding round. Murphy has watched the company grow from a stage with no revenue to its current size.
Anthropic is known for developing large language models and has become a major player in the AI industry. Its growth has been fueled by demand for AI tools and services. Murphy emphasized that the company's success is not just about its technology but also its overall approach.
The report did not provide further details on how the revenue run rate was calculated or whether it is sustainable. Anthropic continues to compete with other AI firms in a rapidly evolving market.
