As part of Wellstreet’s partnership with Shift, Wellstreet is inviting some companies to take part in a tailor-made Google for Startups program on the 14th and 15th of September. The diverse founders and entrepreneurs have been invited to participate in two intense days of hands-on training and mentoring taking best practices from Google for Startups and Wellstreet. Ten companies have been selected to join this exclusive opportunity, normally reserved for our portfolio companies.

About Shift: Shift's mission is to democratize capital by shifting the flow of investment from closed homogeneous groups and traditional networks to entrepreneurs who are not normally reached by venture capital, such as women, minorities and people living outside the metropolitan areas.
