Anthropic's 2022 Pitch Deck Just Leaked
10 slides. No product. FTX money. Now worth $380B.
I’m sharing the pitch deck Anthropic used before raising their $580M Series B.
Late 2022. FTX was the lead investor. Claude didn’t exist yet. They had 100 employees and a waitlist.
The deck was 10 slides.
That company is now worth $380 billion.
Then (2022):
$1B raised
2,500 companies on waitlist
Zero revenue
10-slide deck
Now (2026):
$63.7B raised across 17 rounds
$14B ARR
$380B valuation
4,226 employees
Microsoft, Nvidia, Amazon, Google, Sequoia as investors
Same founders. Same mission. 76x valuation increase in under 4 years.
The deck that started it all is now available.
Why This Deck Is Worth Studying
They led with safety, not capability. Every AI company in 2022 was showing what their models could do. Anthropic pitched what theirs wouldn’t do. Contrarian positioning that turned out to be exactly what enterprises and governments wanted.
They sold the team, not the product. The product didn’t exist. The reputation did.
Their traction slide was a waitlist. 2,500 companies signed up for something that wasn’t built yet.
If you’re raising for AI, deep tech, or any research-heavy company without revenue yet, this is the blueprint:
