Some good news I’m happy to share: Anthropic, the company behind Claude, has accepted Dimitriou eCommerceWebServices into the Claude Startups program.

For a small team like ours, that’s not something we take for granted. Thank you to the Claude Startups team for the trust, and thank you to our partners, clients and friends who are on this journey with us.

Why it means a lot to us

AI isn’t a side project for us. We work with it every day: in askTheodor, in the AI assistants on our clients’ websites, and in our own development. Claude is one of our most important tools in all of it, so being selected by Anthropic for its program makes us very happy.

The program offers its members API credits, perks on tools through the Startup Stack, and office hours with Anthropic’s Applied AI team, among other things.

A small side note

Demand for the program was enormous. When I went to claim the offer of $1,000 in API credits, it had been temporarily withdrawn because of the rush, and all applications were being reviewed again. Anthropic has since confirmed our place in the program; the credits themselves haven’t reached us so far. We’re relaxed about it: so many startups wanting to build with Claude is a good sign for everyone. And we’d put them to use exactly where we already work with AI every day.

Thank you

I’m sharing this news with joy and gratitude. Thank you to Anthropic for having us, and thank you to everyone working with us on AI for small businesses.
