What is the Claude Startups program and can I apply?
Claude Startups is Anthropic’s program for early-stage founders building on Claude. Members get access to offers, tools, and events to help run their business using Claude.

If I’m a member, do I still have access to the program?
Yes, the program is continuing for current members. Your membership includes offers on AI-native tools through the Claude Startup Stack, access to group sessions with Anthropic’s Applied AI team every other week, and invites to Claude Startup events, hackathons, and community meetups.
I applied and wasn’t accepted. What happens to my application?
Our current cohort is now full, so we weren’t able to move forward with applications that were still in review, and we’ve emailed everyone affected. While we didn’t have space for more members this cohort, we encourage you to apply when applications open for the next one.
What is the Claude Startup Stack?
Offers from AI-native companies building on Claude, across sales, design, data, meetings, and engineering. Members redeem each offer with a code in the Claude Console.
