Anthropic has teamed up with Blackstone, Hellman & Friedman, and Goldman Sachs to form a new AI-native enterprise services firm designed to accelerate the deployment of Claude across mid-size and large businesses. The standalone company will embed Anthropic engineering and partnership resources directly within its team, giving clients closer access to the underlying model development as it evolves.
The new firm is backed by a broader consortium of investors, including General Atlantic, Leonard Green, Apollo Global Management, GIC, and Sequoia Capital. The consortium’s network of hundreds of portfolio companies is expected to form an initial customer base, with the platform also open to independent companies seeking AI implementation support. Target industries include healthcare, manufacturing, financial services, retail, real estate, and infrastructure.
The venture addresses a growing challenge in enterprise AI: Claude’s capabilities evolve monthly or even weekly, requiring a different kind of ongoing engineering commitment than traditional software deployments. Because the firm’s engineers will work in close coordination with Anthropic’s research and product teams, the enterprise systems they build are designed to continuously evolve alongside model improvements rather than requiring periodic overhauls.
The firm is positioning itself as a solution to one of the most significant bottlenecks in enterprise AI adoption — the scarcity of engineers with the expertise to build and maintain frontier AI systems at scale. By expanding the pool of highly skilled implementation partners, the company aims to bring Claude-powered solutions to a broader range of businesses than Anthropic’s existing delivery models can serve alone.
KEY QUOTES:
“Enterprise demand for Claude is significantly outpacing any single delivery model. Our partnerships with the world’s leading systems integrators are central to how Claude reaches large enterprises. This new firm brings additional operating capability to the ecosystem and capital from leading alternative asset managers. We are proud to build it alongside Blackstone, Hellman & Friedman, Goldman Sachs, and our other partners.”
Krishna Rao, Chief Financial Officer, Anthropic

“This is a rare convergence: massive market need, the unmatched AI technical capability of Anthropic, and a consortium of investors with the reach to scale fast. The near-term value to our portfolio companies is substantial, and we are excited by the long-term potential to build the definitive enterprise AI services platform.”
Patrick Healy, Chief Executive Officer, Hellman & Friedman
“This is a compelling investment opportunity for our clients and will enable mid-market companies to deploy Anthropic’s AI solutions to drive meaningful impact in their business.
