Anthropic Forms New Enterprise AI Services Company with Blackstone, Hellman & Friedman, and Goldman Sachs
Anthropic has announced the formation of a new AI services company co-founded with Blackstone, Hellman & Friedman, and Goldman Sachs, backed by a consortium including General Atlantic, Apollo Global Management, GIC, and Sequoia Capital. The firm will deploy Claude into core operations of mid-sized enterprises—community banks, manufacturers, regional health systems—using embedded Applied AI engineers from Anthropic alongside the new company's own engineering staff. The venture extends Anthropic's existing Claude Partner Network (which includes Accenture, Deloitte, and PwC) by targeting a market segment that lacks in-house resources for frontier AI deployments. This represents a significant structural move by Anthropic to capture enterprise deployment revenue through a dedicated services vehicle rather than purely through API licensing.
Anthropic raises $13B Series F at $183B post-money valuation
Anthropic completed a $13 billion Series F round led by ICONIQ, Fidelity, and Lightspeed, valuing the company at $183 billion post-money. The company reports run-rate revenue grew from ~$1 billion at the start of 2025 to over $5 billion by August 2025, serving over 300,000 business customers. Claude Code, launched in May 2025, is already generating over $500 million in run-rate revenue with usage growing more than 10x in three months. Proceeds will fund enterprise capacity expansion, safety research, and international growth.
