Participants receive Google Cloud credits, technical support, training resources, and exclusive partner benefits. Eligibility is based on funding stage, company age, prior credits usage, and other factors. Acceptance into this program is at Google Cloud’s discretion, with restrictions for companies that have IPO’d, been acquired, or conflict with regulatory guidance in their jurisdiction. Additional partner grants and offers from Aptos, Celo, Flow, the HBAR Foundation, Near, Solana Foundation, Polygon Ventures, Base Ecosystem, Nansen, Alchemy, and thirdweb can further accelerate growth and innovation.
