Head of Growth (Anthropic): “Claude is growing itself at this point” | Amol Avasare

A lot of companies claim to be the fastest growing companies of all time. Anthropic actually is. You guys were at a billion ARR at the start of twenty twenty five. The last number I've seen is nineteen billion ARR. That's one to nineteen billion dollars in fourteen months. Historically, we were very much the smallest, least well funded playout in this space. We didn't have Of the free cash flow or the distribution of a meta or Google. We didn't have the first mover advantage of an open AI. It's a complete miracle that we've gotten to the stage that we have. Give us just a glimpse of what it's like to be leading growth inside of Anthropics. It's the hardest job I've had in my life to come into Anthropics. You need to understand that 50, 60, 70% of how you operate. In the past. Just throw it out the door. One of the cleverest growth moves you all made was this idea of importing memory from ChatGPT. Activation is a really big challenge in AI. We are starting to look at how do we automate growth. Our growth platform team is driving this effort called Cash, which is Claude Accelerate Sustainable. Hypergrowth, how can we use Claude to automate growth experimentation? And it's delivering results. You're basically living in the future. We always talk about the exponential. The product value that we will deliver in two years' time is probably like a thousand X, what it is today. The funniest thing is I've noticed internally linear charts are just not cool. Everything is log linear. I mean it log linear scale.

Today my guest is Amol Evasari. Amole's head of growth at anthropic. Which is on the most unprecedented growth run in history. In the past fourteen months. They grew from one billion to over nineteen billion in annual recurring revenue.

Just in the past few months, their revenue doubled. They've been growing 10x year over year. This is unheard of at the scale. By the time this episode comes out, the revenue will be even higher. To put this scale in perspective. Companies like Atlassian and Palantir and Snowflake.
