On 6 October 2026 Anthropic welcomed us into Claude Startups, its programme for early-stage founders building on Claude.
What is Claude Startups?
Members get a year of Claude Team, credits for the Claude API, and the Claude Startup Stack: offers on tools from companies building with Claude. They can also join office hours with Anthropic’s Applied AI team, and Claude Startup events, hackathons and meetups.
Where Claude works at Telephonist
- Ask our Telephonist: the question box in our FAQ runs on Claude. Ask it anything about Telephonist, from what it costs to how a call is checked, and it answers at the length you choose.
- How we build: we write and check much of Telephonist with Claude Code, Anthropic’s coding agent, from this website to the systems behind it.
Claude doesn’t answer or make your Telephonist’s calls. Joining doesn’t change how Telephonist works, what it costs or how it handles your data.
Why it matters
We’re a small team building AI for the phone, and the proof behind every call it makes. Membership gives us more room to build, and time with Anthropic’s Applied AI team as we do.
Claude Startups is a programme for founders. It isn’t an endorsement of Telephonist by Anthropic.
Ask our Telephonist a question, or hire your Telephonist for £1.
