Google Cloud has announced several initiatives designed to support AI startups, including an upcoming “Startup School,” a new ISV Startup Springboard program, and expanded partnerships with global startup accelerators.

These moves are aimed at enabling more startups to leverage Google Cloud's AI technologies and build the next generation of innovative applications and solutions.

Through the “Startup School,” Google Cloud will provide startups with hands-on training sessions to help them grow their skills with Google Cloud generative AI. The sessions will cover topics including developing generative AI applications with Vertex AI and Gemini, using BigQuery for data-driven growth, and working with Google Cloud’s extensive ecosystem of partners.

The ISV Startup Springboard program will give qualified AI startups access to multiple go-to-market benefits and initiatives through Google Cloud's partner program. This includes accelerated onboarding to Google Cloud Marketplace and entry into Google's extensive co-selling and co-marketing programs.

In addition, Google Cloud announced a new partnership with 500 Global, a global venture capital firm, that will help even more startups get streamlined access to Google Cloud’s leading AI platform.

Through these initiatives, Google Cloud is demonstrating its commitment to supporting the growth and development of AI startups and enabling them to achieve their goals and turn their ideas into reality.
