The Founders Academy will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience immersing startups with weekly sessions led by Googlers and industry experts who cover topics including fundraising, hiring, and product development.

Each participant will also receive mentorship with a Googler who will establish concrete business goals for the founders to thrive in the program and facilitate connections to achieve their goals. To make sure the needs of the participating founders are met, they will have access to investor office hours, PR support, and a mental health coach at no cost.

“Over the past year, my startup has doubled its revenue, more than quadrupled its employees, and raised over $1.5M in funding. I’ve been thrilled to achieve this sort of growth for the business, but I’d be lying if I said it’s been all smiles. Mid-program I experienced the loss of my mother, and, almost immediately, my program mental health coach Genie stepped in to help me balance my mind and my business during such a difficult time. I’m so grateful to her and to the Founders Academy community for the opportunity as well as the ongoing support,” Janice Omadeke, Founders Academy alumna and founder of The Mentor Method, said.
