Startup founders are being pushed to move faster than ever, using AI while facing tighter funding, rising infrastructure costs and increased pressure to show real traction early on. Cloud credits, access to GPUs, and base models have made getting started easier, but these early infrastructure choices can have unintended consequences once startups move beyond free credits and into full-blown cloud bills.
In this episode of TechCrunch Equity podcast, Rebecca Bellan caught up Darren Mowryvice president of global startups at Google Cloud, who is at the center of these compromises. Watch them discuss what Mowry sees in the startup ecosystem, how Google Cloud competes for AI startups, and what founders should think about as they scale.
