A global series of programs

Each accelerator features a cohort of 10-15 top startups that come together to tackle specific technical challenges that can help grow their businesses through a mix of remote and in-person, 1-to-1, group learning sessions, and sprint projects.

Tailored, expert help

Founders outline the top technical challenges for their startup, and are then paired with relevant experts from both Google and the industry to solve those challenges and grow their business.

Specialist deep dives

We gained deep product insights from the mentors. Leaders Lab & OKRs guided our management team through alignment issues that we had yet to address, and Design Sprints gave us a practical tool to learn from users early in the process.
