Anthropic's seven co-founders each plan to sell 3,378,378 shares in its IPO while collectively retaining 51.1% of the votes, TechCrunch reported from the company's new S-1 filing. The initial price range is $70 to $78 per share.

Each founder will receive one Class F share carrying supervoting rights. After the sale, each will hold about 3.2% of outstanding Class A shares, or roughly 22% collectively. Those figures do not represent their total equity ownership because Anthropic has other share classes, including nonvoting Class N shares held by Amazon and Google. No single founder will hold significantly more shares or votes than the others.
