In addition to mentorship and technical project support, the program features workshops and deep dives focused on product design, business growth, and leadership development. Selected startups will also benefit from dedicated Google AI technical expertise and receive credits via the Google for Startups Cloud Program.
The program is open to Seed to Series A startups and is designed to help them scale their businesses and reach new heights.
Each accelerator features a cohort of 10-15 startups that come together to tackle specific technical challenges that can help grow their businesses and achieve success in the rapidly evolving landscape of AI.
Founders outline the top technical challenges for their startup, and are then paired with relevant experts from both Google and the industry to solve those challenges through a mix of remote and in-person, 1-to-1, group learning sessions and sprint projects.
In addition to mentorship and technical project support, Google for Startups Accelerators include deep dives and workshops focused on product design, customer acquisition, and leadership development for founders. The program also connects founders with AI experts from inside and outside of Google.
