Google for Startups’ Post

What I learnt, and the best parts, of the Google for Startups Female Founders & AI accelerator 💚 A week back in the office and reflecting on the 12 weeks spent as part of Google for Startups latest cohort. My feelings are overwhelming positive towards this experience, so sharing them for anyone thinking of applying to one of the next cohorts... TLDR: do it! 1️⃣ The strength of the cohort: Honestly, anyone out there who says that they can't find strong female founded businesses to invest in, I say, take a look at the women in this cohort. Every single business from legaltech, to cybersecurity to AI family assistants is run by 👏incredible 👏 women 👏 2️⃣ The amazing mentors & technical support provided: One of the biggest benefits of this particular accelerator is the access to mentors from all walks of life, both from inside and outside of Google - need Product help ✅ need help working through OKRs ✅ or even pitch coaching ✅ What's more, our amazing Google Technical Success Manager Natalia Skrzypek, couldn't have been more helpful - taking questions away and finding the right people from within Google to answer them, joining calls every two weeks and providing feedback on our ideas (all whilst still maintaining her day job!) thank you SO much, Natalia 💖 3️⃣ How to best use AI within the luna app: The technical knowledge and experience we have gained, to help power the machine of medics that answer the thousands of questions we receive has been instrumental in helping us achieve our targets and keep scaling the app and future proofing us for when we are 10x (and 100x!) our user base we currently are 📈 4️⃣ A dose of inspiration ✨: It's good to get the head out of the laptop and receive an injection of inspiration every so often - being in person with the other Founders and the Google team for a week in London and a week in Berlin was brilliant for sharing ideas, startup stories and nightmare times! Being surrounded by amazing people really served up some inspiration and has reminded me why we do what we do 💛 5️⃣ Champagne is always a good idea 🥂😉: No explanation needed... #GoogleforStartups #startupfounder #femalefounder
