Anthropic announced the formation of a new enterprise AI services company in partnership with Blackstone, Hellman & Friedman, and Goldman Sachs.

The new firm is backed by a consortium of leading alternative asset managers including General Atlantic, Leonard Green, Apollo Global Management, GIC, and Sequoia Capital. Applied AI engineers from Anthropic will work alongside the firm's engineering team to identify where Claude can have the most impact, develop custom solutions, and provide long-term customer support.

The company will work across diverse industries—from healthcare systems to manufacturers to community banks—and will become a new member of Anthropic's growing Claude Partner Network, complementing relationships with large enterprises served by consulting giants like Accenture, Deloitte, and PwC.
