March 19, 2021

Anthropos Capital, a blank check company targeting a business delivering human capital as a service or product, filed on Friday with the SEC to raise up to $250 million in an initial public offering.

The Stamford, CT-based company plans to raise $250 million by offering 25 million units at $10. Each unit consists of one share of common stock and one-third of a warrant, exercisable at $11.50. At the proposed deal size, Anthropos Capital would command a market value of $313 million. 

The company is led by Co-CEO and Director John Megrue, the Co-Chairman of Bridgewater Associates, and Co-CEO and Director Fred Crawford, the former CEO of AlixPartners. Anthropos Capital intends to focus on companies whose core value proposition to their clients is rooted in delivering human capital, either as a service or product.

Anthropos Capital was founded in 2021 and plans to list on the Nasdaq under the symbol HUMCU. Credit Suisse and Goldman Sachs are the joint bookrunners on the deal.
