Google for Startups Cloud Program — Web3

Google for Startups Cloud Program's Web3 track extends the startup-credit ladder to blockchain companies in the US. It mirrors the Start and Scale tiers, but the support is framed around Web3 builders and the communities around them, with cloud credits and related access rather than any cash grant. The Start tier gives $2,000 in credits to pre-funded projects founded within five years. The Scale tier can reach $200,000 over two years for Web3 companies that have qualifying token raises, equity rounds, NFT fundraising, or blockchain foundation grants, up to Series A. The track also adds Discord community access, VIP conference access, and product-roadmap input, while keeping the same in-kind structure as the broader startup program. It excludes crypto mining, non-compliant token distribution, and dev shops or consultancies. This route fits teams that are building infrastructure, protocols, or application layers and need cloud support without drifting into services work. The profile is strongest when the company can point to real financing, a clear product, and a need for cloud credits that scales with development rather than speculation. Google's support stays on the cloud side; any outside foundation funding remains separate from the program itself.

Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
