Filled the claude startup credits form 16 times. Anyone actually get access?

Ok so i ve been trying to get into the claude startup credits program.
Filled the form, hit submit, it says application submitted . Then like 5 seconds later the same form is back, blank.

So i filled it again. and again. 16 times now lol.

No idea if my application is actually going through or if i m just feeding a loop. No email, no status page, nothing that tells me either way.

If you ve applied, did the same thing happen to you? and has anyone actually gotten credits, and how long did it take.

What did you deliberately leave out of your first version?

A first version can do one job well and still feel unfinished.

There is always something else you could add:

  • Team accounts

  • Billing

  • Integrations

  • A better onboarding flow

Launching tomorrow: Trophy's MCP servers

Hey guys, super quick announcement ahead of tomorrow's launch - we've added MCP servers!
#1: Trophy Docs MCP
The Docs MCP gives agents always-up-to-date context on Trophy's features, integrations and guides, reducing hallucinations and enforcing best practices.
Ask your agent things like:
"What Trophy features should I use to increase user engagement?"
"How should I use Trophy to build habitual usage patterns?"
"Does Trophy support streak freezes?"
#2: Trophy Account MCP
The Account MCP gives AI agents access to your Trophy account helping you configure and deploy gamification features faster, without touching the dashboard.
Ask your agent things like:
"Set up a daily streak in Trophy that tracks completed workouts, give users 1 freeze to start with, and 1 new freeze every week. Set up a webhook endpoint to send users a guest pass when they hit a 30-day streak."
"Set up a repeating weekly leaderboard that ranks the top 100 users by XP. Award XP for reading notes, flipping flashcards and watching videos. Add a 2X XP boost on weekends for Pro users only."
"Create a series of achievements for 10, 25, 50, 100 donations. Reward users with increasing XP for hitting each level."
