GCP – Graduating the Google for Startups Accelerator: AI First in Europe & Israel

Today, we’re incredibly proud to announce the graduation of the latest cohort from the Google for Startups Accelerator: AI First from Europe & Israel! This milestone marks the culmination of an intensive three-months journey for these 14 innovative startups, who’ve dedicated themselves to growing their businesses and pushing the boundaries of artificial intelligence. The hybrid program offered expert mentorship, robust technical support, and access to a powerful global network, empowering founders to scale their impact. 

“With Google’s support, we brought our AI recruitment platform into its next generation — the most advanced in the world, with a business model built for $7M+ ARR within a year.  Their guidance and exposure to breakthrough models took our tech years ahead.“ – Shira Spetter, CEO, iVERSE

With AI projected to contribute a staggering $15.7 trillion to the global economy by 2030 (PwC), supporting these AI startups is crucial for accelerating groundbreaking innovations, deploying scalable solutions, and ensuring AI’s benefits are widely accessible to businesses and communities worldwide. Because when AI innovation thrives, the world moves forward.

“We were initially cautious about deploying LLMs in production for key functionalities. However, after experiencing Gemini 2.5, we’re not just convinced – we’re actively integrating it to power exciting new features.” – Maria Fe Paz, CEO and founder of Connect by Circular-Lab.

The cohort celebrated the milestone at Viva Technology in Paris where they presented their companies, met potential venture capitalists and had an intimate fireside chat with Joëlle Barral, Research & Engineering Senior Director at Google DeepMind and Arno Amabile, Advisor to the French President Special Envoy for AI.
