🗞 News
🇪🇺 🇬🇧🇨🇭 Demo Day is taking place virtually on December 1 at 3pm GMT. Investors sign up here. Thank you Jenny Collins, Steffen Ehrhardt and Rune Bentien for organizing!
🇺🇸 Demo Day is on December 10, 12:30pm PT and is also taking place virtually. We currently have startups across multiple verticals presenting, but if you are interested in presenting either this year or in the future, please apply today for the limited remaining spots. Investors please register to attend. We have partnered with Assure to help the Xoogler startups raise funds at the event. Assure's mission is to nearly eliminate the structuring and administration expense and time required for investing in private assets.
💰 Gaurav Jain’s Afore Capital has been running an Angel to Fund Manager program which has featured other Xoogler investors Brian Singerman, Hunter Walk and Satya Patel. They are now hosting bi-weekly meeting where investors from the program are helping startups they meet get funded. Startups, if you want your details shared by the Xoogler team with the other investors, please indicate it on the Xoogler fundraising form.
☁️ We’ve been informed that the Google Cloud for Startups program referral program will be sunset on 12/31/20. Be sure to apply today if you’re a Xoogler startup needing cloud credits. You could get “benefits of up to $100K Cloud credits, Google Workspace accounts, and other benefits”. After December 31, 2020 you will have to apply directly to Google.

🎓 Thank you to all the volunteers from the community (250+) that made Xoogler School a success! Here’s the recap by the program manager James Cashen and a video the students made to thank you for making it possible. The program has ended but the students are now working to share their learnings with even more students. They relaunched the website XooglerSchool.com (reach out if you want to hire the designer or webmaster), are building a learning platform where the videos posted on YouTube will be condensed and key learnings can easily be consumed and they are publishing a book before the Holidays! If you’ve published a book and would like to share best practices on editing and distribution, please reach out.
☀️ Congrats to Marissa Mayer, Enrique Muñoz Torres and Xoogler.co’s Ankit Jain for the launch of Sunshine last week! Their goal is to build products that brighten your day and help people be more thoughtful. Read about them in Fast Company. Message Ankit for a job referral or help to get off the waitlist.
