Google Cloud Free Startup Credits for Startups (Upto $200K)
The Google Cloud $200,000 Startup Credits is part of the Google for Startups Cloud Program, designed to support early-stage businesses by providing significant cloud resources. This program offers up to $200,000 in Google Cloud credits over two years for eligible startups. These credits cover Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Firebase services, helping startups build and scale their operations without incurring high cloud infrastructure costs.
For startups in AI, the credit amount can go up to $350,000, reflecting Google’s commitment to fostering innovation in artificial intelligence. In addition to the credits, participants gain access to:
- Technical training and mentorship from Google Cloud experts
- Access to all cloud solutions and services
- Discounts on Google services, like Google Workspace and Maps API.
To qualify for the program, your startup must meet the following criteria:
- Be less than 5 years old startup.
- Have not received prior Google Cloud credits (outside of free trials).
- Have a publicly available website and use a company domain for email.
- For the higher $200,000 tier, your startup typically needs to be equity-funded (up to Series A). For AI-specific startups, the credit can go up to $350,000.
Overall, these credits can cover the cost of your intrastate for the next two years and who knows Google Cloud might extend your duration period.
