Google announced the second batch for its AI Academy American Infrastructure Academy on Thursday. The program targets seed to Series A startups using AI in sectors like cybersecurity, education, and transportation.
It’s a four-month run offering equity-free help, leadership coaching, and sales training. Mostly virtual but ending with an in-person Google summit. Applications opened late April, closed mid-May. Companies had to prove traction and at least six months runway to qualify.
Google’s first cohort helped notable startups like government contractor Cloverleaf AI, which later raised $2.8M seed funding, and agtech firm Zordi, which secured $20M.
Here’s the new crop joining the program:
- Attuned Intelligence — AI voice agents for call centers.
- Block Harbor — vehicle system cybersecurity.
- CircNova — AI for RNA therapeutic analysis.
- CloudRig — AI tools for contractor scheduling and planning.
- Making Space — connects employers with disabled talent.
- MedHaul — non-emergency medical transport booking.
- Mpathic — automates clinical workflows and trial AI oversight.
- Nimblemind.ai — organizes health data.
- Omnia Fishing — personalized fishing tips.
- Otrafy — automates supply management.
- Partsimony — supply chain management.
- Satlyt — satellite data processing platform.
- StudyFetch — personalized learning for students and educators.

This joins Google’s broader AI investment efforts like the recent AI Futures Fund backing DeepMind tool-based startups. Last year Google committed $20M to AI researchers and nonprofits and announced a $120M Global AI Opportunity Fund for AI education.
Google also runs multiple founder support programs including Founders and Growth Academies. Its Google for Startups Founders Fund is now targeting AI startups too.
