Startups founded within five years or funded in the past two years are eligible.
Anthropic’s Claude Launches Startup Stack With Up to $45K in Partner Credits
AI take
This is less a product launch than a distribution play: Anthropic is subsidizing the tooling layer around Claude, bundling partner credits so early-stage teams build their stack with Claude at the center. The beneficiaries are young, recently funded startups, exactly the cohort that locks in a model provider early. The open question is whether credit-led adoption converts into paid usage once the free year and API credits run out.
