Referna Accepted into Google for Startups Cloud Program

BEACHWOOD, Ohio, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Referna, a referral network that matches independent professionals into small circles of non-competing peers who refer clients to one another, today announced its acceptance into the Google for Startups Cloud Program. The program provides Referna with Google Cloud credits and technical resources to support the platform's growth as it scales its AI-driven matching and live-meeting infrastructure.

Referna's model organizes independent professionals — fractional CFOs, consultants, recruiters, and other client-service experts — into circles of 8 to 12 peers serving the same type of client. Members meet regularly and refer business to one another, replacing the randomness of informal networking with a structured system for warm introductions.

"Every referral circle runs on trust and consistency, and the infrastructure behind it has to be just as reliable," said Yaniv Nizan, founder of Referna. "Being accepted into the Google for Startups Cloud Program gives us the technical runway to keep improving how we match members and support the live conversations where referrals actually happen."

The Google for Startups Cloud Program supports early-stage startups building on Google Cloud with access to credits, technical training, and a global network of startup resources.

Referna is currently forming new professional cohorts, with applications open at referna.com.
