Anthropic pauses Claude Startups Team plan and $1,000 API credit offers over demand
Overview
Anthropic has paused the Claude Team plan and $1,000 API credit offers in its Claude Startups program, saying in an X post from @claudeai that it underestimated demand, which reached hundreds of thousands of applicants.
Anthropic says offers already claimed will stay in users' accounts. However, some approved applicants who had not yet claimed their offers will lose access while applications are re-reviewed.
Accepted program members keep access to the Startup Stack and Applied AI office hours, according to the same post. Monthly API credits for Claude Max or Team plan subscribers remain available in Console as usual, though this does not cover the paused startup offers.
