About this session
Over 60% of generative AI startups are building on Google Cloud. That's not an accident. Between Gemini, Vertex AI, up to $350K in startup credits, and early access to DeepMind research, Google has quietly become the default platform for the AI-native generation. And the startups building on it look nothing like the ones that came before. Paige leads developer experience for GenAI at DeepMind. Scott runs Google's startup GTM across North America. Together they're seeing what AI-native founders are actually building, how they're shipping, and why so many of them are scaling with teams that would have seemed impossibly small two years ago. In this session, they'll cover: What the 60% of AI startups building on Google are doing differently from the ones that aren't How Gemini is changing what a single founder or a five-person team can ship, from coding agents to full product builds from a voice prompt The practical startup stack: how founders are combining Gemini, Vertex AI, and Google Cloud infrastructure to go from idea to production faster than ever What Google's startup programs actually unlock, and what the highest-performing startups in the program do that the rest don't Where DeepMind research is headed next and what that means for startups building on the platform today The competitive moat question: when everyone has access to the same models, what actually differentiates an AI startup in 2026
