You can get these from Google directly, or through one of the many accelerators and tech incubators - without providing all this data. As for CrowdFlower credits - I don't see why an aspiring AI company would want to build anything on top of another startup's technology stack, as opposed to building their own core tech.
Problem is that you have to be a part of one of the "current partners" so if you haven't joined an accelerator or have VC funding you don't get access.
Unless I am mistaken. I'd be interested if I was able to find more credits for AWS/GCP/etc
