Pre-seed enterprises can receive up to $2,000 in Google Cloud credits, valid for two years, and access to Google-hosted events such as Paris Blockchain Week, Consensus, and TOKEN2049 Singapore.
The benefits for seeded enterprises include $200,000 over two years for Google Cloud and Firebase usage, $12,000 in Google Cloud Enhanced Support credits, and 12 months of free Google Workspace Business Plus.
In addition, Web3 initiatives, such as Aptos, Celo, Flow, HBAR Foundation, Near, and Solana Foundation, would provide grants of up to $1 million in fiat currency or tokens to these businesses.
Polygon Ventures offers up to $3 million in funding to seed-stage companies. The Base Ecosystem Fund will provide entrepreneurs with priority evaluations, and Coinbase Ventures will introduce them to its listing teams and applicable venture capitalists.
Other benefits include up to $10,000 in Alchemy credits, VIP support, and gas-free contract deployment with Thirdweb.
