Anthropic is setting up a $100 million fund for AI startups with the help of venture capital firm Menlo Ventures.
Termed the Anthology Fund, the nine-figure pool of cash will be doled out to"the next generation of AI startups" Menlo Ventures. Each startup is eligible to receive an investment of at least $100k, with no mention on the maximum investment a company could pocket.

There are some other perks of abstract value, including"access to the Anthropic team for expertise, guidance, and dedicated developer relations support," networking with other AI companies, quarterly and biannual meetings with Anthropic and Menlo Ventures, and even"fractional workspace access" to Menlo Ventures' offices.
