Deadline: 26-Mar-23
Google is excited to launch applications for the fourth Google for Startups Black and Latino Founders Fund in the US.
The Google for Startups Black and Latino Founders Funds provide cash funding (no equity taken) to promising early-stage tech founders in the US.

The program is virtual with in-person opportunities taking place throughout the year.
