According to 1M AI News monitoring, Anthropic is negotiating to form a joint venture with several large private equity firms. Anthropic plans to contribute $200 million, and the joint venture’s total fundraising target is $1 billion. General Atlantic, Blackstone, and Hellman & Friedman are all involved in the talks.
The new company will serve as Anthropic’s consulting arm, teaching enterprises how to implement Claude series AI tools in their operations. The PE-backed portfolio companies are an ideal customer base: management is already looking to reduce costs, and PE funds can also standardize technical decision-making across the entire investment portfolio. Last month, Anthropic also announced a separate $100 million initiative to provide training and technical support for a consulting firm helping companies deploy Claude.
OpenAI is also moving forward with a similar project. Its joint venture plan, internally code-named “DeployCo,” is likewise targeting the PE ecosystem, and recently reassigned the COO to oversee the project. Executive Fidji Simo disclosed on X last month that the plan is to dispatch engineers to customers’ offices to teach them how to use AI.
