As we see the details of Anthropic’s IPO for the first time, we are launching a free advisor-matching tool to help you find an evidence-first advisor.
Anthropic published its S-1 yesterday, October 26th, giving the first public view of its IPO filing. If it lists in mid-November, Anthropic staff could start to go from being rich on paper to having real money to give.
If I put myself in their shoes, I imagine this is quite a destabilising moment. Theoretical money just became a lot more real. If they were getting 20 emails a week before, that number may soon surge.
I think, and have thought for a while, that this will be when many of them think: “I really should find a philanthropic advisor.”
Many people avoid thinking about becoming extraordinarily rich. It’s even easier when you’re working flat out. But actual money starting to arrive means you can’t put off financial decisions any further, including where and how much to give.
The danger, among so many dizzying life changes, is that you hire the first advisor you come across, or have already heard of. In an ideal world, though, you choose the best advisor for you, who matches your amount, interests, risk tolerance and the services you need. In particular, you might want one that matches your view of evidence and cost-effectiveness.
That’s why I built this free advisor-matching tool at Ultra Philanthropy: matching.ultraphilanthropy.org/
It's for any donor giving over $100k per year who wants evidence and cost-effectiveness at the heart of their giving. In about ten minutes, with no sign-up, it matches you against twelve advisors and three organisations, including GiveWell and Coefficient Giving. I tested it on a variety of donors and advisors, including some at AI labs.
I think there is unmet demand for a tool like this, and that demand just became urgent.
