Supporting Women Founders
Google for Startups is on a mission to support a global startup community that is inclusive, accessible, and equitable—not only because it is the right thing to do, but because diversity drives innovation.

Women founders received only 3% of overall VC funding last year, and consistently rate access to networks and funding as the biggest obstacles impeding startup success.
