Google for Startups: Engineering 10x with Dr. Astro Teller and Google DeepMind

Google for Startups Hub: Ideas are easy. Momentum is hard. Step into a builder centric experience designed to help you build faster and go further. Overlooking the San Francisco skyline, the Google for Startups Hub is your headquarters to sustain your momentum. We’ve designed every square foot for less drift and more direction. Sip freshly brewed coffee, enjoy light bites, and connect with a curated community of fellow founders who are building the next frontier. Acceptance for this timeslot grants you the flexibility to customize your experience: catch both headline speakers on the main stage, drop in for just one session, or step away at any time to check out live demos, grab a coffee, and connect in the lounge. From 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM, hear Dr. Astro Teller (Captain of Moonshots, X) and Derek Andersen (Bevy & Startup Grind) break down how to balance radical moonshot thinking with the practical reality of building. Immediately following, Paige Bailey (Google DeepMind) leads a high-impact conversation with Teresa Nguyen (Pupper) and Andrew Mauboussin (Surge AI)—exploring how 10X startups use Google’s frontier models to bridge bits and atoms, bringing AI into the physical world to build further and faster. See agenda for more details. Beyond the stage, your access gives you frontline interaction with Google’s top startup resources, an exclusive Expert Lounge to stress-test your architecture with engineers, and live demos bridging research and reality.
