LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM — 18TH JULY 2023 — Photogram, an innovative computational photography startup, is thrilled to announce its participation in the Google for Startups Cloud Program for AI startups. This strategic collaboration has been instrumental in accelerating the development and deployment of Photogram's groundbreaking technology.
Since joining the program in 2023, Photogram has leveraged the program's comprehensive benefits to build a robust foundation for its AI-powered photography platform.
Financial Fuel for Innovation:
The Google for Startups Cloud Program provided Photogram with substantial financial support in the form of Google Cloud credits. This funding has allowed our team to focus on innovation, iterating rapidly on our AI models and algorithms without the burden of hefty infrastructure costs. The program's generous cloud credits have effectively fueled our research and development efforts, enabling us to push the boundaries of computational photography.
Technical Expertise and Cutting-Edge Infrastructure for Edge AI:
Access to Google's world-class AI infrastructure has been a game-changer for Photogram, especially as our product incorporates the Google Edge TPU for on-device AI processing. We have harnessed the power of Google's advanced machine learning tools, frameworks, and foundation models to refine our algorithms and enhance the performance of our platform. This access has empowered our engineers to experiment with state-of-the-art AI techniques, driving continuous improvement in image quality, processing speed, and overall user experience.
The seamless integration with the Coral Edge TPU has allowed us to optimize our AI models for real-time image processing at the edge, providing photographers with faster and more efficient results.
Mentorship and Collaborative Network:
Beyond financial and technical support, the Google for Startups Cloud Program has connected Photogram with a vibrant community of industry experts at Google. Through dedicated mentorship and networking opportunities, we have gained valuable insights and guidance from seasoned professionals, accelerating our learning curve and fostering collaboration. This collaborative environment has proven invaluable in navigating the complexities of the AI landscape and forging strategic partnerships.
Looking to the Future:
As we continue to evolve our computational photography platform, the Google for Startups Cloud Program remains a cornerstone of our growth strategy. The program's ongoing support will enable us to scale our infrastructure seamlessly, expand our product offerings, and reach a wider audience of photographers and enthusiasts. We are excited to continue collaborating with Google Cloud as we embark on the next phase of our journey, redefining the future of photography with AI.
