Google is backing these 20 startups to help improve the world with AI
A Google-funded program is helping 20 startups from Black and Latino entrepreneurs that use AI to tackle everyday problems.
Google said in its announcement that the company created the Founders Fund to help "level the playing field" for Black and Latino entrepreneurs who have difficulty accessing early capital, as racial equity is linked to economic opportunity. "AI can enable startups to build transformative products and solve complex challenges, but founders need access to capital to realize this potential," Maya Kulycky, VP of strategy and operations at Google Research, said in a statement. Here is the full list of winning startups: Akeptus, Beta Financial Services, Bountiful, Cambio AI, EdVisorly, Elis, Hacware, Hire Henry, Hue, Improving Aviation, InOrbit, JustAir Solutions, Maverick, Pagedip, Raincoat, Sensagrate, Sortile, TackleAI, Trustible, and Waterplan.
