The Google for Startups Accelerator Program provides equity-free support, mentorship, training, and technical guidance to help early-stage startups scale their businesses and access Google’s network and resources.
The focus areas of the program are equity-free support for the duration of the program, dedicated mentoring from Google teams, exclusive invitations to technical bootcamps hosted by Google where offered, access to Google’s network of industry experts, access to new Google AI products and tools through Trusted Tester and EAP benefits, eligible startups receiving Google product credits, support on company and product strategy, working hand in hand with experts from Google on technical challenges, and connecting and learning from fellow founders through a peer-to-peer support network.
Each cohort of 10-15 startups comes together to tackle technical challenges that can help grow their businesses through a mix of remote and in-person, 1-to-1, group learning sessions, and sprint projects. Startups demonstrating traction, ideally between Seed and Series A stage, building a scalable product or service with a significant total addressable market and defensible growth model, and deeply technical, preferably leveraging technologies like machine learning and AI, are encouraged to apply. Commitment from CTO and/or technical roles to participate and engage in required program sessions is expected.
The program ensures startups gain early access to Google AI products, hands-on technical project support, strategic guidance, and the opportunity to grow their networks globally. Participants also benefit from founder networking, peer learning, and exclusive training sessions designed to accelerate their product and company growth.
