Anthropic Partners with London-Based Private Equity Firm to Launch Consultancy Arm
The venture will place AI engineers and consultants inside businesses to deploy Anthropic’s Claude models and create a new revenue stream as it builds data centers.
- Anthropic is partnering with a London-based private-equity firm to launch an AI consultancy by the end of 2026, with offices in London and Berlin serving European firms deploying AI solutions.
- This venture mirrors Anthropic's $1.5 billion consultancy Ode, established earlier this year with Blackstone and Hellman & Friedman, as the company seeks fresh revenue streams to fund massive data-center investments before a planned IPO.
- Operating alongside around 150 AI specialists, the new consultancy will implement Anthropic's Claude AI models, placing the company in direct competition with established IT consultancies including Accenture and the Big Four.
- Anthropic invests its own balance-sheet capital alongside funds from the London-listed HgCapital Trust, with the venture supporting projects for businesses owned by the London-based private-equity firm independently from existing internal teams.
- Similar initiatives by OpenAI, featuring partnerships with TPG, Advent, Bain Capital, and Brookfield, highlight the trend of AI developers entering consultancy markets, while Anthropic's revenue growth reportedly slowed last week, according to the Financial Times.
