Google for Startups: Black Founders Fund
We want to bridge the existing fundraising gap for black startup founders in Africa’s fast-growing technology landscape. Through the Google for Startups Black Founders Fund Africa, we are supporting early-stage startups on the continent that are founded by black-led or diverse teams or who are directly benefitting the black community. This non-dilutive $4 million fund is allocated across a pipeline of 60 investable black-founded startups in Africa. The fund is open to all startups that meet the criteria, with priority given to Google for Startups Accelerator & Partner program alumni.
This fund will be given along with mentorship support and Google platform credits to help the startups grow.

Early-stage startups with black founders or diverse founding teams operating and headquartered in Africa.
