worth noting that google doesn't give out 100k for free, or to "any startup". They give it in exchange for equity, and only through their VC partners and accelerators.

Nonsense - they give it away, just like AWS/IBM/Oracle do, no strings attached.

Source: received it. Not in a VC/incubator.

Citation needed.

Last I saw they definitely do not take equity.

You do however have to be qualified by applying through a partner as you say.
