  • Collaboration with AI specialists: Teams work shoulder-to-shoulder with Google DeepMind and Google Labs experts, including top researchers, engineers, product managers, and go-to-market strategists, to refine ideas and accelerate innovation.

  • Cloud credits and technical support: By providing cloud infrastructure and dedicated technical guidance, Google removes traditional barriers, enabling startups to build, train, and deploy solutions efficiently and securely.

  • Potential for direct equity investment: Selected startups can access funding from Google, empowering them to scale rapidly and take calculated risks on innovative technologies.

Several forward-thinking companies are already leveraging the AI Futures Fund’s resources to drive impact across diverse industries. Their journeys highlight the transformative potential of this initiative:

  • Viggle: This AI-powered meme-generation startup partners with Google to pioneer new methods of video content creation, harnessing the combined power of Gemini, Imagen, and Veo.

  • Rooms: By collaborating with Google’s experts, Rooms is enhancing interactive 3D spaces, creating richer, more immersive content experiences with the help of cutting-edge AI models.

The success of these startups illustrates how strategic support and advanced tools can enable founders to test, iterate, and deliver products that were previously out of reach.
