Today was a busy and exciting day, with our small and mighty team driving 50+ announcements with Google Cloud’s partners and customers, including major AI announcements with Palo Alto Networks, Best Buy, Cintas, Broadcom, PwC, 25+ new startup customers building AI on Google Cloud, and a ton of news for Google Cloud partners. And that’s just the first day of #GoogleCloudNext! Bloomberg’s Julia Love and Davey Alba captured Google Cloud's momentum with AI startup customers particularly well: “Google Cloud has seen an increase in business from startups using its platform to build generative AI apps and services, Kurian said. More than 60% of generative AI startups that have raised funding are now paying for Google’s cloud computing services, Kurian said. Of those valued at more than $1 billion — colloquially referred to as “unicorns” — 90% are Google Cloud customers, up from 70% in August, he said.” https://lnkd.in/ghjvS2nk Ryan Styrk Kennedy Vega Angela Ran He Ben Jose
