Google says its 2026 Australia and New Zealand Google for Startups Accelerator has selected 15 startups. The 10-week, equity-free hybrid program is aimed at Seed and Series A companies using AI and machine learning, and is meant to help them scale rapidly and responsibly.
The list includes Blunge, an AI design agent; Mentana, an autonomous supply chain manager; and Unseen, a trust layer for commercial real estate. The listed startups are framed around specific workflows such as design, research, supply chain, inventory, manufacturing, and commercial real estate. My read is that the interesting unit here is the domain workflow, not a general chatbot.
