What Anthropic funds
The Claude Startups Program is open to any early-stage founder for community and resources, but the Claude API credits and priority rate limits sit behind a requirement to have raised equity funding from an institutional investor within the company's first four years.

Anthropic states only that partner-backed startups "may qualify for additional benefits" if the affiliation is mentioned in the application. No credit amount or multiplier is published, so the amount fields are deliberately null.
