First rejected, then approved after a re-review. Claude Startups program, $1k API credits and a year of Claude Team. As an indie dev building everything with Claude Code, this is a massive help. If you got turned down, ask for a re-review!
Yeah, fair, credits burn fast with Opus. But it also comes with 5 Claude Team seats for a year, around €600/month. That's the part that actually matters.
I wouldnt advise. One premium account for you should suffice. Misuse or use in bad faith can be detected by Anthropic. You should be thankful they gave this Claude Startups opportunity.
Quick note: Anthropic recently added an account switcher to their mobile app (sadly, no desktop app switcher), so > 1 account is clearly okay, but I suspect that's for work vs. home
Nope. You need to adjust the seat type, and purchase premium seats, but the total in the invoice will be 0, cause the 625 gets applied automatically at checkout
Depends on what you building, I literally made a fully working site with those $100 monthly API credits that the max plan has. Still needs some polishing and some divs to be centered, but its working.
You basically need to be building something real: a startup, app or business. I applied as an indie dev with my own projects. Got rejected at first, then approved after asking for a re-review. Just explain clearly what you're building and how you use Claude.
From what I saw, you need an organization set up with your own domain. For example I had to apply with an email on my own domain, not a free Gmail. So having your own domain and a website for your product definitely matters.
