As one of the 60 beneficiaries, Brastorne is amongst the black-led startups that will participate in the Google programme for non-dilutive cash awards from the Startups Black Founders Fund.

Participants are either nominated by partner communities or a previous recipient. Selected founders receive up to $100,000 capital along with Google cloud credits, advert grants, and hands-on support to help their startup grow. Google started its Black Founders Fund in 2021 as a commitment to invest in Black entrepreneurs to fuel generational change.
