2015 is The Year of Your Launch

Google Developers Launchpad, formerly known as Startup Launch, is a program aimed at helping app businesses scale and monetize by offering a range of resources, including events, mentorship, and courses. The initiative features Launchpad Week, a global weeklong bootcamp for early-stage startups, which took place in cities like Bengaluru and Bordeaux, and Google Developer Summits, which support later-stage startups in optimizing their apps with Google's tech expertise. In 2014, over 5,000 developers benefited from the program's infrastructure support, including Google Cloud Platform credits and promotional offers for services like AdWords and the In-app Billing API. Additionally, the program offers a virtual curriculum and collaborates with Udacity to enhance developers' technical skills, covering topics such as Android and UX. Participants are encouraged to apply to the program to take advantage of these resources.
