2014 Year in Review: Enabling the best and brightest startups
Saturday, January 3, 2015
Today’s post is the latest installation in our 2014 Google Cloud Platform Year in Review. Every day until early January, we will be featuring a different Googler sharing their highlight from the past year in Cloud Platform.
On September 12 of this year, we launched Google Cloud Platform for Startups at the Google for Entrepreneurs Global Partner Summit. In the few short months the offer has been available, we have seen tremendous traction with our investor, accelerator, and incubator partners and the companies taking advantage of credits, technical support, and mentoring.
Partners like
TechStars
,
Galvanize
, and
Founder Institute
have nominated hundreds of companies that are building amazing products on top of the Google Cloud Platform and are seeing tremendous growth.
Rabbit
, a
Google Ventures
backed company, is bringing people closer together with video chat and rich content sharing on top of Google Cloud Platform. Founder and CTO, Philippe Clavel says, “Having a strong, consistent network is very important for video communications, and Google Cloud is the best solution out there. We were able to move from our previous provider in just two weeks, and the transition was easy for us and seamless to our users.”
I have been amazed by the quality of companies taking advantage of the offer and the excitement in the community about Google Cloud Platform. To think 2014 was just the beginning!
