Anthropic is making its first acquisition tied to a newly launched enterprise consulting effort, according to Bloomberg. The company selects San Francisco-based Fractional AI to serve as the operational centerpiece of the venture. The consulting business has not been named publicly yet.
The new enterprise services firm is backed by a group of investors, including Blackstone, Anthropic PBC, and Hellman & Friedman, with additional support from other investors mentioned in reporting. Anthropic is positioning the venture as part of its broader push to deliver AI services to business customers, with the acquisition aimed at establishing a foundation for consulting operations.
Both outlets describe the same core details: the acquisition of Fractional AI, its role in powering the new consulting venture, and the venture’s investor backing. Neither source provides further specifics on deal terms, the venture’s future offerings, or timing beyond the launch context reported on May 21.
