Anthropic widens its Claude Startups program: a free year of Claude Team and $1,000 in API credits
Claude· 6 OctAnthropic is expanding Claude Startups, its program for founders building on Claude. Approved members can get up to $7,000 in Claude products and credits: a free year of Claude Team with up to five Premium seats for companies new to Team, and a one-time $1,000 API credit. A new Claude Startup Stack adds discounts and credits worth up to $45,000 from partner tools, plus office hours with Anthropic's applied AI team.
- If you are a young company building a product or service on Claude, read the terms and apply, since approval is not automatic.
- If you are not a startup, skip it: the benefits are for founders accepted into the program, not for every small business.
