About the initiative
Established in 2020, the Google for Startups Black Founders Fund awarded more than $40 million to help Black-led startups secure funding, strengthen communities, and create generational change.
In addition to equity-free cash awards, Black Founders Fund recipients received ongoing Google mentorship, Google Cloud credits, and product support to help them navigate every stage of their startup journey.
Entrepreneurship is lonely and requires a constant search for support. When I joined the Google for Startups community I realized how lonely you can feel if you're not part of a network with similar challenges to yours. It has been transformative on my journey!
