Anthropic AI, an artificial intelligence startup backed by Amazon and Google, is initiating a share buyback program for current and former employees. The company, valued at $61.5 billion, is allowing eligible staff members with at least two years of tenure to sell up to 20% of their equity, capped at $2 million per individual. This valuation aligns with Anthropic's recent $3.5 billion funding round in March, highlighting the competitive landscape for AI talent and the strategic use of buybacks for employee retention. Separately, Cursor, another AI-related company, is reportedly raising funds at a $9 billion valuation from investors including Thrive, a16z, and Accel. Additionally, MoneyFellows has raised $13 million to expand its group savings model beyond Egypt.
