Google Cloud announces Machine Learning Startup Competition with VCs - Bizztor

Google Cloud announces a Machine Learning Startup Competition in collaboration with venture capital firms Data Collective and Emergence Capital. The competition brings together promising early-stage startups using machine learning for an opportunity to receive up to $1M in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) credits and the potential to receive up to $1M of equity investment from our partners, Data Collective and Emergence Capital. Startups invited to participate in our final pitch-off event will also have an opportunity to meet and receive feedback from our supporting partners, a16z, Greylock Partners, GV, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and Sequoia Capital. In keeping with Google's spirit of openness, teams don't need to use GCP to be eligible for the competition. U.S.-based startups working in any sector -- from health to financial services and from retail to mobile apps -- are encouraged to apply.
