NVIDIA and Google Cloud have joint forces to accelerate the development of generative AI (GenAI) applications and services by startups worldwide.
Leveraging the combined strengths of the NVIDIA Inception programme and the Google for Startups Cloud Program, the initiative aims to broaden the availability of cloud credits, go-to-market support and technical expertise, enabling startups to deliver value to their customers more quickly.
NVIDIA Inception is a global initiative that supports more than18,000 startups. It will offer qualified members a fast-tracked route to utilising Google Cloud infrastructure. These members will have access to Google Cloud credits worth up to US$350,000, specifically those focused on AI.
Members of the Google for Startups Cloud Program will have the opportunity to join NVIDIA Inception, gaining access to a wealth of resources including technological expertise, NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute course credits, and NVIDIA hardware and software. Eligible members can also take part in the NVIDIA Inception Capital Connect platform that provides startups with exposure to venture capital firms interested in the AI sector.
Emerging high-growth software makers from both programmes will benefit from expedited onboarding to the Google Cloud Marketplace, as well as support for co-marketing and product acceleration.
The latest in a series of efforts by both companies to alleviate the costs and obstacles associated with the development of GenAI applications for businesses of all sizes, this initiative is particularly beneficial for startups, which often face significant financial constraints when investing in AI.
