NOTE: Google Cloud recently updated its Startups program, see below:

Process for getting started Previously, startups in your portfolio used a referral link specific to your organization that allowed the startup to redeem Google Cloud credits. Now, all startups will instead need to ano contacno conpply directly on cloud.google.com/startup.

Benefits offered Once your startup applies on the updated site, they’ll get access to Google Cloud credits depending on evaluation by our team. Our previous offering of $100,000 in Google Cloud credits will no longer be available to every startup. Instead, the evaluation for the offer will be based on objective data such as funding raised and stage of growth, as well as the depth of our engagement with them. The amount of credit and benefits we provide will be sized to each startup, and different startups may get different amounts. Once a startup is connected with Google Cloud, we will work with them as they grow to ensure they have the resources they need to succeed.

Previous offer (no longer available, but may be useful for discussions):
