VHLX Fellowship 2022

Deadline: June 24, 2022

Google is providing $10k in cash to participating Latinx founders and teaming up with Visible Hands to support them on their journey from the start. Through this fellowship program, Visible Hands provides hands-on company-building support and access to a national network of industry experts, founders, and investors. This virtual-first program will run from August 1st to December 16, 2022.

Benefits

• You will receive $10,000 in non-dilutive capital to help kickstart your idea. Following the program, you will be able to apply for additional funding of up to $150,000 from Visible Hands.
• Get support with projects that help propel your startup forward, ranging from design, brand, marketing, strategy, and even recruitment. Think of us as an extension of your startup team.
• Receive deep mentorship from industry experts and Google employees throughout the program: fireside chats, tactical workshops, office hours, pitch feedback sessions, and everything in between.
• Become a part of a close-knit cohort of early-stage founders with diverse backgrounds and skillsets. We will also connect you with an extensive national network of investors, mentors, and industry experts.

Eligibility Criteria

• You must be a founder that identifies as Latinx, Latina, Latino, Chicano, Chicana, Chicanx, Indigenous Latinx, or First Peoples. We decided on the term “Latinx” for the overall program because we believe it is the most inclusive term that reflects all gender identities. However, we understand that this term does not work for everyone, and we invite you to identify yourself as you see fit.
• You or your ancestors must have come from a Latin American country, including the Caribbean, Central, or South America. If your company is already incorporated, it must be a registered entity within the United States. Founders must have primary residence in United States.
• You do not need to currently be full-time on your business, but you must have intentions to do so if you obtain the right capital and resources.

Application Procedure

There are two stages to our application process: 1) A written application and 2) an interview round. You will hear back on the evening of July 11th whether or not you receive an interview invitation. Please block some time for a potential interview on July 13th, 14th, or 15th. If you work full-time on another job, we will work around your schedule.
