What if your AI startup had access to Google’s most powerful models, technical mentorship, and global infrastructure, all at once? With the launch of the AI Futures Fund, that future is now.
Google has announced a bold initiative to back early-stage AI companies through a unique blend of resources, from state-of-the-art AI models to cloud credits and investment, without the rigidity of traditional accelerator programs.
A Launchpad for AI Visionaries
Unlike typical incubators, the AI Futures Fund is designed to support founders on their own terms, offering:
- Early access to Google DeepMind’s AI models
- Deep technical guidance from experts at Google Labs and DeepMind
- Equity investment opportunities
- Rolling applications — startups can apply when they’re ready
This initiative positions Google not just as a tech enabler, but as a strategic partner in AI entrepreneurship.
