Key differences for employees
Equity structure
Anthropic grants RSU — no exercise cost. Your equity vests and converts to cash or shares automatically at a liquidity event. Revolut grants ISO/NSO with strike prices from $70–$110.
Secondary market premium
The secondary market is pricing Anthropic at a +-10% premium over its last primary round ($380B → $342B). Revolut trades at +12% over its last round ($45B → $50.4B). A higher secondary premium signals stronger investor demand and potentially better near-term liquidity for employees looking to sell.
Revenue and growth
Anthropic runs at $30B ARR, growing +400% YoY (hypergrowth). Revolut runs at $3.1B ARR, growing +72% YoY (fast). Revenue growth rate matters for equity because it drives the peer-multiple valuation — the method most correlated with exit multiples.
