A newly formed artificial‑intelligence‑native enterprise services firm—backed by Anthropic, Blackstone, Hellman & Friedman, Goldman Sachs and other investors with a combined $1.5 billion commitment—has acquired Fractional AI, a San‑Francisco‑based applied‑AI services company founded in 2024 by Chris Taylor, Eddie Siegel and Travis May. The acquisition gives the still‑unnamed venture an experienced delivery team ready to embed generative‑AI models such as Claude into mid‑market businesses’ core operations, moving beyond traditional consulting by sending engineers to rebuild client systems around frontier models. The firm plans to initially serve Blackstone’s portfolio companies across healthcare, manufacturing, financial services, retail and real‑estate before expanding more broadly, and the deal comes as Anthropic deepens its enterprise reach through new alliances with KPMG, PwC and Deloitte.
