What is the Code2040 Residency Program?
The Code2040 Residency, powered by Google for Entrepreneurs, supports and connects Black and Latinx entrepreneurs with resources they need to take their companies to the next level, while cultivating diversity across the United States. Our program exists because we believe that tech entrepreneurship is creating opportunities and wealth for Black and Latinx talent.
Since 2015, Code2040 has had partnerships with co-working spaces, entrepreneurship centers, and startup communities across the country. We are proud to work with the following tech hubs who are creating diverse and inclusive spaces and programs:
- TechSquare Labs in Atlanta
- Capital Factory in Austin
- 1871 in Chicago
- Grand Circus in Detroit
- American Underground in Durham
- COCO in Minneapolis
- Nashville Entrepreneur Center in Nashville
- Galvanize in San Francisco
