Google Announces New Cohort of Start-ups for the 2022 Canadian Cloud Accelerator
As reported by BetaKit, Google has announced the second cohort to join its 10-week cloud accelerator program for Canadian start-ups. The program, which is set to begin on April 11, 2022, will provide the selected early-stage companies access to Google’s programs, products, people and technology.
Among the 11 companies who have been selected is Ad Auris, an end-to-end audio creation platform used by digital publications to convert their written work into high-quality audio, Cadence, a digital executor assistant which automates estate settlement tasks with the support of certified executor advisors, and Tiggy, a 15-minute grocery delivery service.
The selected groups are looking forward to beginning the program. “The Accelerator will help build all aspects of our company with growth and efficiency in mind,” said Krystian, CTO and Co-Founder of Cadence. “It's an amazing opportunity to learn from Google's leaders, with access to all of the Cloud Platform services that will allow us to build our product in a cost efficient, scalable and secure way.”
