Closes at Series BTerms read on 9 Aug 2026
Up to $350,000 in cloud credits, by stage
Read this first
The two year window starts running whether or not you are using the credits, so applying long before you have workloads to run spends part of the benefit on nothing. Where the AI first line sits, and therefore whether you see $200,000 or $350,000, is not published.

What the terms actually say
Three separate programmes share one page and the tier you fall into is decided by your funding stage rather than by anything you write in the application. Pre funded companies get $2,000 to build an MVP. Seed to Series A gets $200,000, or up to $350,000 if Google classes you as an AI first startup, and the page does not publish where that line falls. Series B and later gets custom support with no credit figure attached, so at that stage this is a sales conversation rather than a credit programme. Credits run over two years.
Who can claim it, in Google Cloud's words
The $200,000 and $350,000 tiers are for Seed to Series A. There is a $2,000 tier for pre funded companies, and Series B or later is routed to a custom arrangement instead of credits.
What you get without this
The standard Google Cloud free trial credit, a fixed amount over ninety days, plus the always free tier limits.
We list a perk because it beats walking up to the vendor unannounced. If it ever stops doing that, it comes off the index.
