The Problem Solvers
The most driven founders are problem solvers. What keeps them building on Claude is a partnership that scales with their ambitions. Watch their unscripted conversations with the Anthropic engineers deeply embedded in their work.
Pioneering permission to build

Michele Catasta
President & Head of AI
At 16, Michele Catasta set out to make software open to everyone. What followed was a decade of research at Stanford and Google in training state-of-the-art models, all in service of that goal. He joined Replit as a pioneer in agentic building: the place where anyone can take an idea and build it in natural language, with no coding experience required. Over 50 million users are doing exactly that, many discovering for the first time that they have permission to build.None of it works without the right model. Replit chose Claude in early 2024 for its coding capabilities, and that decision has evolved into a partnership. Anthropic brings Replit in on early research previews, they build against what's coming, and when a new model ships, Replit ships the same day.
“To remove the barrier of entry to coding, the model makes the difference. Anthropic continues to have the best coding models on the market.”

Building on your beliefs
Kay Zhu built Genspark on a belief he's living at home: that AI should free people to follow their heart. His teenage son is studying commercial dance instead of computer science with his full support. As CTO and co-founder, Kay built Genspark to make that possible at scale with an all-in-one AI workspace for business. In a market moving this fast, anyone can build, but Kay believes the team is what makes the difference. He chose Claude for its reasoning capabilities, and found something beyond the model: a close partnership with Anthropic that let him take Genspark further than he could alone.
“With every other model, we had to predefine every step. Anthropic's model changed everything about how we build.”

Scott Wu
Co-founder and CEO
Scott Wu was world champion of competitive programming at 17. For years he wondered whether AI would do what he could. Now he runs Cognition, the team behind the first AI software engineer. When they got early access to a new Claude model, Scott ran it against their toughest benchmark. It held up. By then, they'd spent months trading notes with the Anthropic team. After that, the partnership deepened.
“The models Anthropic built have been pretty clearly ahead of the curve. Engineers are going three, five times faster — and just shipping so much more.”
