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.

The fund had a direct influence on our most meaningful impact, which is reducing material waste. A very positive outcome for the environment that wouldn't have been possible to achieve in this timeframe without Google for Startups.
Humphrey Yeboah,
Cofounder of Liquisto
