What happened
Google Cloud announced a $750 million fund on April 22, 2026. The fund supports consulting firms in bringing agentic AI to their clients. Named launch partners include McKinsey, Accenture, and Deloitte. The fund helps these firms train staff, build internal tooling, and run client deployments on Google Cloud agents.
Why it matters
The fund pairs with the new agent building tools that Google showed at the same Cloud Next conference. Together the two announcements signal a clear push from Google into enterprise services around AI agents. The bet is that consulting firms will pull large clients onto Google Cloud as agent adoption grows.
MintedBrain take
For anyone building AI agents in a regulated or enterprise setting, the named partners are about to scale up their AI practices fast. Expect more agent-driven projects to land with Big Three consultants over the next year.
