Let's Rally Behind The New Google for Startups Black Founders Fund Cohort

Let's Rally Behind The New Google for Startups Black Founders Fund Cohort

This one has been a long time coming, and I'm super excited for it. Today, Google for Startups announced the third edition of the Black Founders Fund in partnership with Goodie Nation . These are some of dopest founders I've met recently, and they represent a diversity accelerators like Techstars , Grid110 , and Capital Factory , locations from NYC to Honolulu, and industries.

At Goodie Nation, we're tasked with supporting the founders on a weekly basis, facilitating group therapy, and making warm introductions to investors, companies (both small and large) for pilots, talented people and service providers they can hire.

How You Can Help Close The Relationship Gap For Them

I believe everyone (that would be you) has a role to play in solving the world's biggest problems. And one of those problems is the Relationship Gap for black founders.

There are a few things you can do to support these dope founders:

  • Investors: consider providing capital to one of them
  • SMB's/Enterprise Companies: consider doing a pilot with one of them
  • Media: consider writing a story on one or a group of them.
  • Everyone Else: you can do three things (1) use their consumer products, (2) share with investors, those that work at large companies, and media members in your network, or (3) simply share the following link on social media

So scroll through the full list of Black Founders Fund III recipients and think about ways to help at goodienation.org/blackfoundersfund/

This how you can be intentionally good. This is how we do tech right. Let's rally behind these dope founders.
