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.

Global Vision, Local Action

Google’s commitment extends beyond funding. In the Middle East and North Africa, the company is backing Saudi Technology Ventures’ AI Fund to bolster regional AI innovation.

In the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), Google is collaborating with key regional players to empower local AI startups and researchers. 

Building the AI Ecosystem of the Future

From healthcare to creative industries, the startups backed by this fund are expected to tackle complex problems using frontier AI. Google’s move signals a clear intent to shape the future of ethical, accessible, and high-impact AI, by empowering the builders of tomorrow.
