Anthropic said on Monday it is forming a new artificial intelligence services firm with Blackstone, Hellman & Friedman and Goldman Sachs to deploy Claude-based systems inside mid-sized companies.
The standalone firm will also be backed by a consortium of alternative asset managers including Apollo Global Management, General Atlantic, Leonard Green, GIC and Sequoia Capital.
Anthropic said the company will work across sectors, with its applied AI engineers helping the new firm identify where Claude can be integrated into business operations, build customized systems and support customers over time.
The company did not disclose financial terms. The Wall Street Journal earlier reported that the founding firms had committed $1.5 billion to the venture.
Anthropic said the effort is aimed at companies that could benefit from frontier AI but lack the internal technical resources to build and operate such systems.
“Putting Claude to work in an organization’s core operations takes hands-on engineering and deep familiarity with how each business runs,” Anthropic said in its release.
The company said community banks, regional healthcare systems and mid-sized manufacturers could gain from AI adoption but often lack internal delivery capacity.
“Enterprise demand for Claude is significantly outpacing any single delivery model,” said Krishna Rao, Chief Financial Officer of Anthropic. “This new firm brings additional operating capability to the ecosystem and capital from leading alternative asset managers.”
Anthropic said a typical engagement would begin with a small team working with a customer to identify where Claude could have the most operational impact, before building systems tailored to those workflows.
The new firm will also join Anthropic’s Claude Partner Network, which includes consulting and systems integration firms such as Accenture, Deloitte and PwC.
