About the program
Every year, Google for Startups Advisor Summit brings an experienced group of Google mentors from across the world to support the local startup community with hands-on problem-solving for a two-week immersion. Startup Advisors Summit will be going online in 2020. We’re taking advantage of this opportunity to involve more Googlers to reach and impact more startups, as they won’t need to travel. We have also extended the duration of the program from two weeks to the whole month of June. This passionate and accomplished group of 19 mentors will be working during this time with the 19 startups from the combined Residency programs from Google for Startups Campus in Brazil and Spain. This will allow us to expand the reach of the program and do open Live Sessions for both communities, so that all startups can benefit from them. Startup Advisors Summit is a part of Google for Startups Residency, a program bringing growth-stage startups the best of Google's products, connections, and best practices, through tailored mentoring and workspace at our Campuses in Madrid, São Paulo, Seoul, and Tel Aviv.
Open live sessions
We’re launching online Live Sessions to share expertise from top Google mentors with the whole global Campus community. These YouTube Live Sessions will cover topics from product excellence to company culture, in order to address the diverse needs of startups.
