Anthropic expands startup incentives for Claude AI access

Anthropic has expanded its Claude Startups program, offering qualified startups up to $45,000 in discounts, a free year of its Claude Team plan for up to five users, and $1,000 in AI API credits. Startups founded in the last five years or funded in the last two can apply. The program now also features access to plug-in tools, expert office hours, and community events, aiming to attract founders choosing between leading AI providers.

Why it mattersAI model providers are fiercely competing for startup loyalty as these companies often set the foundations for wider technology adoption. Anthropic’s expanded offering is a bid to draw early-stage teams away from competitors like OpenAI and Google.
