$350,000

Gemini credits for startups are not a standalone offer, they are delivered through the Google for Startups Cloud Program. AI-first startups that use Gemini or the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform as the foundation of their product can receive up to $350,000 in Google Cloud credits over two years: year one covers 100% of eligible usage up to $250,000, and year two covers 20% of usage up to a further $100,000. Startups at the same stage that are not AI-first get up to $200,000, and pre-funded founders can self-serve a $2,000 tier for an MVP. Credits cover Google's own models including Gemini and Gemma, while third-party models are billed directly and are not covered.
