We are so happy to announce that GoParity have been chosen for Google for Startups Residency program, starting from February until June 2020. During the 6-months program we will have access to tailored mentorship from Google experts, various workshops and activities.

Google choose GoParity

It all started at the beginning of October 2019, when GoParity decided to apply for the Google for Startups Residency program. With a lot of hope and a lot of other candidates (500 other startups!) we were waiting for the finalists startup announcement in mid December, aaand we did it!! We have been chosen among other 15 startups as finalists of the program but that was only the beginning of the story.

Next step was more challenging. We have been invited for a 2-day long bootcamp during which we had opportunity to meet Google experts, other finalists and compete for a place in the Residency program. Our CEO Nuno Brito Jorge and MarCom angel Carolina Ribeiro were representing GoParity on the Jan 14th and 15th, pitching and networking to be selected for this incredible program.

We are so proud to announce that yesterday (Jan, 21st) was our lucky day! 🚀We won a place in the 6 months bootcamp at the Google For Startups Residency in Madrid alongside with Deplace, Fundeen, Heepsy, Idoven, Navilens, OBUU Solutions, StudentFinance, YData.

What does it mean for us?

From the 4th of February, GoParity and other selected startups will move to Google for Startups Campus Madrid and the Residency program will kick off.

The Google Campus for Startups is created especially for startups and until the end of June, we will have our own office inside the campus. It’s a unique space made for creators and for people focused on solving problems and always innovate.

This will be an intense period for our team but surely full of new knowledge and arising opportunities. Throughout the 6-months program we will have access to tailored mentorship from Google experts, workshops, activities and presentations.

GoParity CEO, Nuno Brito Jorge stressed that the besides benefiting to access three essential things: all the tools that Google can offer; a network of mentors and founders who are already there; and accelerate our entry in the Spanish market. “It is a program that helps to define the way forward”.

We are ready to give our best during the upcoming months and take as much as we can from the program and the knowledge that will be presented to us. All of it with the goal of improving our service and making GoParity the best possible!
