Monzo co-founder Tom Blomfield has joined the compute team at Claude’s parent company Anthropic.
Blomfield, 40, has taken a leave of absence from the prestigious US accelerator Y Combinator – which he joined as a partner in 2023 – to move to the generative AI giant.
Anthropic closed a $65 billion Series H funding round in May 2026 which valued the company at $965 billion, more than ChatGPT’s parent company OpenAI. It is preparing for an IPO later this year.
