They’re looking for globally minded, innovative and high potential startups on a mission to drive positive change. We welcome change makers from across all industries who are solving social and environmental problems with the use of technology.

Campus is Google’s physical space for startups that offers a diverse and connected community alongside world-class education for entrepreneurs. Google began life as a startup in a garage in California, and they’ve kept their passion for entrepreneurship.

With Campus, they wanted to create a physical connecting space, somewhere for founders to network, learn, teach, and grow. With Residency, they want to nurture high potential startups and offer personalised support and unique access to Google resources, experts and global connections.

Program Structure

Working with the Campus team, startups define challenges, set objectives and key results (OKRs) to reach goals together, leveraging support from Google product teams, the Campus community and our global network of partners. They will be working with up to 10 startups in this round of the program. Team sizes vary between 5-15.

Once you have set your OKRs for the program you will be introduced to mentors and experts to help you work through your specific challenges, from Google, the Campus community and the Google for Entrepreneurs global network.

In order to take full advantage of the program, all teams will move into Campus for the full duration of the program (September 2018 – December 2018). You will be expected to attend some preparation sessions at Campus from 13th to 24th August. And then move your team to Campus London for the duration of the program from 3rd September.
