Singapore sovereign wealth fund GIC has joined a consortium of investors backing a new AI-native enterprise services firm formed by Anthropic and several other partners.
The standalone entity will have Anthropic engineering and partnership resources embedded in its team. It aims to help companies deploy Anthropic’s Claude AI models across core business operations, the firms said in a statement.
Other founding partners include Blackstone, Hellman & Friedman, and Goldman Sachs. Apollo, General Atlantic, Leonard Green, and Sequoia Capital are also backing the firm.
The company will focus on helping mid-sized enterprises design, build, and maintain AI deployments, initially targeting portfolio companies of the investment firms as well as independent businesses, per the announcement.
Anthropic CFO Krishna Rao said enterprise demand for Claude was growing faster than any single delivery model could support.
“This new firm brings additional operating capability to the ecosystem and capital from leading alternative asset managers,” Rao added.
The firms said the company is being created to meet demand for AI systems that can evolve as underlying models improve.
It will target sectors including healthcare, manufacturing, financial services, retail, real estate, and infrastructure, where the firms see large opportunities for AI adoption but limited in-house technical depth.
“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,” said Jon Gray, president and chief operating officer of Blackstone.
Claude’s capabilities change frequently, requiring enterprise deployments to be continuously maintained rather than treated as traditional software rollouts, per the announcement.
