For early-stage firms in the Google for Startups Cloud Program, Google Cloud has announced that it will be providing significant financial assistance up to $100,000 per year.
Google for Startups Cloud Program participants will now have access to a dedicated Google Cloud point of contact for their two-year participation in the program.
Google for Startups and the cloud business are coordinating the two-year program to ensure startup clients get a similar experience across all of Google as they seek access to Google mentors, tools, programs, and best practices from Google.
Startups will be eligible for up to $100,000 in Google Cloud credit for the first year following their Series A round of funding.
Start-ups will receive up to an additional $100,000 in credit on their Google Cloud usage costs during their second year in the program.
