GCP – Meet the 15 AI startups selected for Google for Startups Cloud AI Accelerator

Startups focused on AI are influencing so many areas of our lives. They’re defining the future of education, advancing healthcare innovation, reinventing collaboration and more.

To help AI-focused startups scale quickly and build responsibly, we’re hosting the Google for Startups Cloud AI Accelerator. This program builds on the success of our recent AI First accelerators and targets startups building AI solutions based in the U.S. and Canada. This is the first of several AI-focused programs we’ll offer throughout the year across the US, Canada, Europe, India and Brazil.

After a rigorous selection process, we’ve selected a cohort of dynamic companies leveraging AI to address a wide range of real-world challenges. Meet the startups: 

1. Alma (Palo Alto, CA): Simplifies US immigration for global talent.
2. Asepha (Toronto, ON): Develops fully autonomous AI pharmacists.

The equity-free program kicks off at Cloud Next 2025 where the cohort will pitch their company  on stage in preparation for a high profile Demo Day in June for potential partners, customers and investors. Startups will then receive 10 weeks of hands-on mentorship and technical support focused on using AI in their core service or product. 

These startups will collaborate with a cohort of peer founders and engage with leaders across Google. The curriculum will give founders access to the latest Google AI tools, including Vertex AI, Gemini and Agentspace, and will also include workshops on infrastructure, user experience (UX),  growth, sales, leadership and more.

After graduation, startups join the active Google for Startups Accelerator community, where they receive ongoing support, and have the opportunity to build lasting connections with like-minded founders, mentors and investors.

We are honored to partner with this cohort of companies through this Accelerator and beyond. Register your interest to get updates on the program, and join us in celebrating!
