I Highly Recommend the Google for Startups Accelerator
Continuing my series on accelerators we’ve tested for Handy.AI through trial and error, I can confidently say that if you’re looking for a breakthrough moment for your startup, Google for Startups Accelerator is the right choice.
Unlike long-term ecosystem integration programs, Google’s accelerator is designed for companies that are ready for a rapid leap forward. Whether you need to refine your AI model, build a strategic partner network (as we did), or scale sales aggressively, this is the program that delivers results fast.
I know many of you have questions about the program—so I’d love to share my experience here.
First of all, I absolutely recommend it if your startup is at the stage where you’re ready for a breakthrough. This is not just another accelerator—it’s an opportunity to tackle specific, high-impact challenges with the right experts by your side.
Why join?
✔️ Designed for companies ready to break through—whether it's refining your AI model, scaling your sales, or building a strong partnership network.
✔️ Direct access to Google employees—not just advisors, but specialists matched to your exact challenges.
✔️ Outstanding mentor network—real practitioners with deep industry experience.
✔️ High-impact, intensive program—just a few months long, but to get the most out of it, you need a dedicated team of 3-5 people fully engaged.
✔️ Google Cloud credits—a huge benefit, especially for AI startups, but also valuable for scaling infrastructure and optimizing data processes.
✔️ Equity-free support—a 10-week program with hands-on guidance for founders and their teams, with no equity taken.
For Handy.ai, it was a game-changer. And if you want to get a glimpse of the program’s impact, check out the 2024 recap video!—we’re there too!
And yes, I even made it to the screen—almost like the face of the program… though that was purely accidental! 😆
