Anthropic, a frontier AI company, alongside Blackstone, Hellman & Friedman, and Goldman Sachs, has announced the formation of a new AI-native enterprise services firm designed to integrate Anthropic’s Claude into core business operations rapidly.
This new firm operates as a standalone entity, embedding Anthropic’s engineering and partnership resources directly within its team. The venture is further supported by a consortium of leading alternative asset managers, including General Atlantic, Leonard Green, Apollo Global Management, GIC, and Sequoia Capital. This broad network of hundreds of companies is expected to enable the new firm to design, build, and maintain enterprise AI deployments, establishing a scalable platform for sustained growth.
Krishna Rao, Chief Financial Officer of Anthropic, highlighted the market demand: “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.”
Jon Gray, President and Chief Operating Officer of Blackstone, stated the intent to create a significant company: “We intend to build a scaled, world-class company to deploy Anthropic’s incredible technology across a range of businesses in our portfolio and beyond. We believe it can help break down one of the most significant bottlenecks to enterprise AI adoption by expanding the number of highly skilled implementation partners.”
Patrick Healy, CEO at Hellman & Friedman, emphasized the market convergence: “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.”
Marc Nachmann, Global Head of Asset and Wealth Management at Goldman Sachs, commented on the investment opportunity: “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. By democratizing access to forward-deployed engineers, the new company can help the expansive network of portfolio companies in our Asset Management business and other companies of similar sizes accelerate AI adoption to grow and scale their operations.”
The company is positioned to accelerate the adoption of AI solutions, particularly for mid-size companies. Claude’s capabilities evolve frequently, presenting unique engineering challenges for traditional software deployment. The new firm’s engineers will work closely with Anthropic’s research and product teams, ensuring that implementations are designed to adapt to these ongoing model improvements from inception.
Major opportunities for AI implementation exist across various industries, including healthcare, manufacturing, financial services, retail, real estate, and infrastructure. Building and maintaining frontier AI systems requires specialized expertise. This new AI-native enterprise services firm aims to provide businesses with the necessary expertise to deploy AI at the speed and scale required for competitive positioning.
