Daniela Amodei, president and co-founder of Anthropic, offered practical advice to those looking to start a startup: take a joint vacation with potential partners before committing to founding a company. In an interview with Forbes magazine and in a speech at Stanford University's Graduate School of Business, Amodei explained that this test reveals the degree of compatibility between founders. Amodei founded Anthropic in 2021 together with her brother Dario and five other co-founders, most of them former colleagues from OpenAI. Her net worth is estimated at $15.5 billion, and she earned $16.4 million last year. Anthropic, the developer of Claude models, is approaching an IPO at a valuation of about $2 trillion and a raise of up to $100 billion, with a revenue forecast of $190-200 billion by 2028. The article describes Amodei's unique background — a bachelor's degree in English literature, a career that began in politics, and an unusual management method involving the use of stuffed animals to analyze personality patterns.
