Google Cloud for Startups (Africa) provides cloud support for startups across stages in Africa through separate tracks for pre-funded, Seed to Series A, and Series B+ companies. Pre-funded startups can apply for $2,000 in cloud credits to build an MVP, while Seed to Series A startups can access $200,000 in cloud credits, or up to $350,000 if they are AI-first. Series B+ startups are offered customized cloud solutions and support rather than a fixed credit amount. The program also includes solution-building resources and access to tools across AI, data analytics, security, infrastructure, and Google Workspace.

Check current fund status and deployment activity
Apply through the track that matches your current stage: pre-funded, Early Stage, or Series B+. If you are AI-first, make that explicit in your application because this is tied to eligibility for up to $350,000 in credits. Pre-funded teams should focus on MVP development needs, while later-stage startups should show how they will use Google Cloud to scale operations and customers.
