Anthropic invests $100 million into the Claude Partner Network

Anthropic has launched the “Claude Partner Network,” committing an initial $100 million to support partners leveraging the “Claude” AI model.

A significant proportion of the $100 million investment is promised to go directly to partners as direct support for training and sales enablement, and for market development, and co-marketing for joint campaigns and events. The company is also providing dedicated AI engineers to partners working on live customer deals, technical architects to scope more complex implementations, and localized go-to-market support in international markets.

Resources will be made available on a new partner portal, including training materials, sales playbooks, and other co-marketing documentation. Qualified partners will also be added to a Services Partner Directory, where enterprise buyers can find firms with Claude implementation experience.

The technical certification, known as the “Claude Certified Architect, Foundations,” is aimed at solution architects building production applications with Claude. Later this year, Anthropic plans to introduce additional certifications for sellers, architects, and developers.

In addition, the company is launching a Code Modernization starter kit, which gives partners a straightforward starting point for migrating legacy codebases and remediating enterprises’ technical debt. This is one of the highest-demand enterprise workloads, and one where Claude’s agentic coding capabilities most directly translate into client outcomes.

The new program is designed for management consultancies, professional services firms, specialist AI firms, and similar agencies. Alliances are also in place with major cloud providers, including AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft.
