Google for Startups Accelerator
Status not published
Cohort-based, run regionally as Accelerator Americas, Accelerator Europe/Middle East/Africa and Accelerator Asia Pacific. Deadlines are published per regional cohort on the regional pages; none is published on the umbrella page.
No cash and no equity: 'Equity-free support for the duration of the program'. Benefits are mentoring from Google teams, technical bootcamps, early access to AI products via Trusted Tester and EAP, Cloud TPU access and, for eligible startups, unspecified 'product credits'. Google does not publish a credit value, so the amount is null.
