The three 20-something founders of Israeli AI startup Decart, who collectively own 64% of the company, reportedly walked away from a $6 billion acquisition offer from Anthropic because it required relocating to the U.S. They would have become billionaires overnight but chose to keep building in Israel. The claim is third-party and unconfirmed.
