Anthropic launches AI services company with Blackstone and Goldman Sachs to help mid-market businesses adopt Claude

Anthropic, Blackstone, Hellman & Friedman, and Goldman Sachs are creating a new AI services company. General Atlantic, Apollo Global Management, and Sequoia Capital are also backing the effort. Anthropic engineers will work alongside the new team on custom solutions for mid-sized companies.

The new company targets businesses that typically cannot tackle AI projects independently, such as regional healthcare networks and mid-sized manufacturers. Existing partnerships with Accenture, Deloitte, and PwC will continue.

Anthropic CFO Krishna Rao states that demand for Claude has "significantly" outpaced what any single delivery model can handle. The move mirrors OpenAI's "The Deployment Company," a joint venture with more than four billion dollars in funding, reflecting both companies' reliance on partners to scale AI adoption faster.
