Google Unveils New AI Academy Cohort - Google has announced the second cohort for its AI American Infrastructure Academy, targeting early-stage companies using AI in sectors like cybersecurity, education, and transportation. The four-month, primarily virtual program offers equity-free support, including leadership coaching and sales training. Successful applicants must demonstrate traction and at least six months of financial runway.
This initiative is part of Google's broader AI investment strategy, which also includes the AI Futures Fund and global educational and funding efforts. Alumni from previous cohorts, like Cloverleaf AI and Zordi, have achieved significant fundraising success.
