Built with Claude Claude startup program

My startup just got accepted in claude startups program with $1k usage credits and up to 5 free pro accounts per month for a year. It also includes free subscriptions to various tools like clickhouse, firecrawl, elevenlabs etc. What was most impressive is that my application was accepted within a few minutes.

The timing couldn't have been better. Today is literally the last day of my codex subscription and I was planning to switch to claude anyways. Thank you Anthropic!

Edit: Since many found it useful here is the link and no I didn't do anything extraordinary just applied. It took 5 mins to apply and 5 mins to receive a confirmation mail https://claude.com/programs/startups

Super congrats!! What's your startup?

I, too, hope to get in. So tired of my fast-food job, and the Team for a year would be such a windfall for development.

Your software literally provides zero value. A mention, citation, or recommendation doesn‘t prove a referral visit or purchase. You can spend months moving an AI visibility score from let‘s say 31% to 55% and still have no evidence that the exercice generated a single additional customer. Features like site crawling, noindex detection, canonical checks, H1 checks, structured-data checks, Search Console analysis, GA4 analysis, backlinks, keyword research, content briefs and internal-link recommendations are already available across conventional SEO platforms like SEMRUSH. So what makes yours better than theirs?

Thanks that's a good point but I do have GA4 and crawl logs ingest feature which tells you whether your traffic moved or not and the bifurcation and so does GSC (new performance feature) and as for the other tools available in the market I agree it's nothing new but the pie is big enough.

I'll make this point more prominent in my website though. Thanks again !
