Mexico City, September 3, 2024. Google for Startups is pleased to announce the first cohort of its Google for Startups Accelerator AI First Latin America (GFSA AI First LATAM) program. The program will be held virtually between September and December of this year, and will aim to connect high-potential AI-focused startups with the best of Google: its products, its people, and its network of experts.
The 10 selected startups develop solutions to real problems in the region in a variety of sectors, including education, e-commerce, fintech, marketing, logistics, among others. The potential to generate a positive impact on society makes them truly remarkable, as does the fact that four of these companies have women as part of their founding team.
“AI is revolutionizing industries and creating entirely new ones. Startups are pioneering in applying these technologies to solve complex problems and develop innovative solutions, some of which have the potential to have a global impact. It is a privilege for our teams to support startups with incredible potential for impact,” said Jose Papo, Startup & Developer Relations Senior Program Manager – Latin America.
GFSA AI First LATAM is part of a global series of Google programs that support top-tier startups in tackling specific technical challenges to help them grow their companies. Entrepreneurs identify and define their technical and business challenges, and then Google and industry experts work closely with their teams to address those challenges. In addition to mentorship and technical support, the program includes deep dives and workshops focused on product design, customer acquisition, and leadership development for founders, among many other topics.
