Sources: Anthropic plans to raise $10B led by Singapore's GIC and Coatue at a $350B valuation before the new investment, up from $183B in September 2025

The startup behind chatbot Claude is raising money from investors including GIC and Coatue Management

Especailly with Anthropic at $350B — SBF, Elizabeth Holmes, etc.... really should start a jailhouse venture fund and just take pitches via letter.  Seems like they would have great judgement on who to back, tons of time, great name recognition / brand & I bet they could easily raise LP capital for it / a different take.
