Google Workspace for Startups

Google Workspace for Startups is a software discount program administered by Google that provides early-stage companies with subsidized access to cloud-based business productivity tools. The initiative typically offers eligible companies up to 12 months of free access to Business Plus or Enterprise software editions for a maximum of 200 active users. To qualify for the highest-tier discounts, applicants must be new customers without a paid subscription in the prior 31 days and maintain an affiliation with a participating venture capital firm or accelerator. Operating in conjunction with Google Cloud and the broader Google for Startups ecosystem, the platform recently integrated generative artificial intelligence capabilities through the 2024 rollout of Gemini. This resource is specifically intended for early-stage startup founders requiring professional email, secure file storage, and remote team management software to scale their daily business operations.
