Summary
Anthropic on Tuesday widened its Claude for Startups program, giving qualifying companies a free year of Claude Team with up to five premium seats plus $1,000 in API credits.
The expanded package also includes access to Claude Marketplace for building plug-ins and virtual office hours with Anthropic’s Applied AI team, extending support beyond model access.
Startups can qualify if they were founded within the last five years or raised funding in the past two years, and applications are open through the program page.
Anthropic said the move reflects its view that AI reaches most people through companies building on top of models, making closer ties with founders a strategic priority.
