Congrats! @Autodesk has entered a definitive agreement to acquire @MaintainX for ~$3.6B. We first backed @CTurlica & @dozoisch in 2021, then continued to invest in their next rounds including again leading their $150M Series D.

Turns out they were building the connective layer for all of physical industry. Autodesk saw it too.

Congrats to an exceptional team. This is the start, not the finish.

Having spent a career in software, I always want to believe it’s a hardware problem.

So I bought yet another golf club.

Turns out maybe this time it is a software problem…

“We have not seen a company like this in our lifetimes or, quite frankly, in the history of business. They have been growing at a rate of 10x per year.” Bessemer Venture Partners’ @bdeeter says on Anthropic.

“We have not seen a company like this in the history of business. They have been growing at a rate of 10x p/a & potentially a $100 bn run rate at the end of this year.
They grew 80x run rate just in Q1.”

@altmbr @AnthropicAI @DarioAmodei @DanielaAmodei They haven’t exited yet! A big milestone but lots more in this journey - we just invested more!

[Byron Deeter @bdeeter]

When we first invested in @AnthropicAI (back in Spring '24 /series D), the valuation looked aggressive to a lot of people.

Here's a look back at the investment thesis: https://t.co/cg7wVyoVnE

@DarioAmodei , @DanielaAmodei , and this team didn't just execute the thesis. They crushed it. $965B valuation. >$47B run-rate.

A true once-in-a-generation company. Honored to partner with you on this journey.

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

We've raised $65 billion in Series H funding at a $965 billion post-money valuation, led by @AltimeterCap, Dragoneer, @Greenoaks, and @sequoia.

This investment will help us advance our research and expand our capacity to meet growing demand for Claude.

Awesome conviction and leadership here, team @MenloVentures & @mmurph ! Appreciative of the continued partnership on this rocketship!

[Menlo Ventures @MenloVentures]

We are thrilled to celebrate @Anthropic's $65B Series H at a $965B post-money valuation. Anthropic is Menlo's single largest and highest-conviction investment in our 50-year history — and it's not even close. This round marks our largest single investment in any round since our partnership began.

Our relationship with @AnthropicAI, goes way back:
→ Invested in their Series C, 2023 — PRE-launch, PRE-revenue
→ Led their Series D, 2024
→ Significant backers in every round since
→ And in July 2024, co-launched the $100M Anthology Fund with them to seed the next generation of AI-native companies

Three years into this partnership, we continue to be blown away by everything they've built.

$47B+ run-rate revenue. 40%+ enterprise LLM market share. Claude Opus 4.8 launching today. Web traffic from 16M → 290M monthly visits in 13 months. Enterprise AI and consumer AI. Both.

Congratulations to @DarioAmodei, @DanielaAmodei. and the entire Anthropic team. You are building one of the most important companies of our generation.

The hyperscalers are making the biggest bet in corporate history. By 2031, the big 5 (Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Meta, Oracle) will have put $8T into AI capex. That's roughly parallel to the entire U.S. defense budget over the same period.

The question is what has to be true on the demand side for that bet to pay off. @silicon_samuel and I did the math.

Value is rotating up the stack. A >$36T unlock is happening ...and it's going to be a wild ride.

[Bessemer @BessemerVP]

Capex from the big five hyperscalers (AMZN, MSFT, GOOGL, META, ORCL) will cross $1T by next year. And $8T cumulative by 2031. Hiding inside that bet is AI's biggest moment.

@bdeeter and @silicon_samuel break down the possibility. ⤵️
