In the Accelerator, selected startups receive tailored mentorship and support from Googlers and industry experts to solve their top challenges. The Accelerator's technical offerings and measurable impact on startups set this program apart.

With my background in corporate marketing and business, I had to learn everything from scratch: about technology, building a tech company, and scaling the business in the tech world. I was looking for knowledge and inspiration from the experienced mentors and I found it all within Google for Startups.

I felt like every moment of the Accelerator forced me to reflect on why I founded my startup and what I wanted to achieve. By discussing our goals and challenges with Google mentors, reexamining our management style, and adopting the OKR processes from the Founders Lab, we reimagined what our startup could be. These experiences were a driving force behind our adapting to the COVID-19 shock.
