Anthropic and OpenAI Launch Enterprise AI Joint Ventures
Anthropic has partnered with Goldman Sachs, Blackstone and Hellman & Friedman to launch a $1.5 billion enterprise AI services firm that will deploy Anthropic’s Claude model inside businesses, beginning with the partners’ portfolio companies. Backed by additional asset managers including Apollo Global Management and General Atlantic, the new entity (unnamed) will embed engineers inside mid-sized, PE-owned companies to redesign workflows around AI agents and accelerate real-world adoption. Executives say the model-plus-engineering approach addresses a growing shortage of practitioners who can integrate AI into operations. The move positions Anthropic to deepen its enterprise footprint against rivals such as OpenAI and create a preferred sales channel into hundreds of middle‑market companies across healthcare, manufacturing, financial services, retail and real estate. The story was published May 4, 2026.
Anthropic Raises $65B, Nears $1T Valuation
Anthropic closed a $65 billion Series H at a $965 billion post-money valuation, a financing the company says may be its last private raise before an IPO. The round was co-led by Altimeter Capital, Dragoneer, Greenoaks, Sequoia Capital, Capital Group, Coatue, D1 Capital Partners and included institutional investors such as Baillie Gifford, Blackstone, Brookfield, D.E. Shaw Ventures, DST Global and Fidelity. Strategic infrastructure partners Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron also participated. The company said $15 billion of the round comprised previously committed hyperscaler investments — including $5 billion from Amazon. Anthropic released Claude Opus 4.8 on the same day and said it will use funds to expand safety research, compute for Claude, and scale products and partnerships. The startup reported a run-rate revenue above $47 billion and expects profitability following a projected revenue surge.
Software Stocks Surge After Anthropic's Strategic Partnerships
Anthropic hosted an enterprise agents event announcing new partnerships and product updates for Claude Cowork that enable integration with enterprise apps such as Slack, Intuit, Docusign, LegalZoom, FactSet and Gmail. The company said organizations can deploy customizable plugins for use cases including financial analysis, engineering and human resources. The announcements eased investor concerns about AI displacing enterprise software, triggering gains in several software and cybersecurity stocks — notably Salesforce, DocuSign, LegalZoom, Thomson Reuters and FactSet. Analysts at Wedbush Securities said the event suggested the competitive risk from AI to existing software ecosystems is overstated. The story notes recent volatility in software and cybersecurity names tied to Anthropic product rollouts, with some stocks recovering after the event.
