Accel Atoms AI Cohort 2026 Pre-Seed Scaling Program

The program brings together Accel’s global network and resources along with Google’s AI Futures Fund to help founders redefine the status quo at scale. Selected startups can receive up to $2M in funding, along with access to advanced AI infrastructure, early access to DeepMind models, and over $5M worth of perks. Founders benefit from deep mentorship by Accel partners, direct access to Google technologists and product leaders, targeted go-to-market support, and immersion experiences at Google, including potential access to Google I/O. The cohort focuses on building AI products for billion-user markets across work, software engineering, creativity, and entertainment, while remaining model-agnostic.
