Google for Startups Hub: Ideas are easy. Momentum is hard.
Step into a builder centric experience designed to help you build faster and go further. Overlooking the San Francisco skyline, the Google for Startups Hub is your headquarters to sustain your momentum. We’ve designed every square foot for less drift and more direction.
Sip freshly brewed coffee, enjoy light bites, and connect with a curated community of fellow founders who are building the next frontier. Acceptance for this timeslot grants you the flexibility to customize your experience: catch your choice of headline speakers, drop in for specific sessions, or step away at any time to check out live demos, grab a coffee, and connect in the expert lounge.
From 12:00 PM to 5:45 PM hear Scott Barneson (Google Cloud) and Jiong Liu (Wiz) unpack how to turn security and responsible AI into a startup advantage, while Jaclyn Konzelmann (Google Cloud) shares product-grade engineering lessons for deploying agentic workflows at scale. Attend specialized side-stage sessions on building PDF parsing agents with Gemma and NVIDIA Nemotron, or master structural unit economics and the "token tax" with David White (Google Cloud).
Conclude the afternoon with a featured panel from Matt Ridenour (Google DeepMind) and pioneering founders bridging research to reality—followed immediately by the exclusive Google DeepMind Happy Hour & Off-Record Demo Slam, featuring lightning-fast founder demos under a single spotlight and zero slide decks allowed.
Beyond the stage, your access gives you frontline interaction with Google’s top startup resources, an exclusive Expert Lounge to stress-test your architecture with engineers, and live demos bridging research and reality. This is your launchpad to move forward, further, and faster.
