Cami Clark, the wife of Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, has been described as the company's "First Lady" in a new profile published by The Information today. Here's what the deeply reported piece uncovered.
Clark has kept almost no public online presence, which the report says is by design. She is described as a quiet but essential adviser to Dario and a key figure around Anthropic despite never having a public role there.
The profile, by Cory Weinberg, Jemima McEvoy, Jessica Lessin and Stephanie Palazzolo, traces her path before Anthropic. It says she founded her own startups, including a women-focused, high-end porn venture with an e-commerce revenue model.
Reporting shows Clark tried to raise money for that venture in 2011 or 2012 from Jeffrey Epstein, who ultimately passed on investing. The story notes this attempt came after Epstein's 2008 conviction.
