How Google Cloud's AI Tech Stack Powers Today's Startups
Google, September 18,2025
AI has accelerated startup innovation more than any technology since perhaps the internet itself, and we've been fortunate to have a front row seat to much of this innovation here at Google Cloud.
Nine of the top ten AI labs use Google Cloud, as does nearly every AI unicorn and more than 60% of the world's gen AI startups overall.
And the trend of AI startups choosing us is accelerating. For example, we've seen more than a 20% increase over the past year in the number of newer AI Startups (those who recently raised a Series A or B round) choosing to use Google Cloud.
These startups are building with our differentiated AI stack, which offers leading technology and choice at every layer, including a variety of TPU and GPU specialized chips for compute, and a broad range of models that excel at coding, image and video generation, collaboration, and more.
