Google is backing a new pilot program from CODE2040 in three cities.
Starting this year in Chicago, Austin and Durham, N.C., the San
Francisco non-profit will give minority entrepreneurs in each city a
one-year stipend and free office space.
CODE2040 is a non-profit
founded in 2012 that focuses on getting more African Americans and
Hispanics into the tech workforce. It has graduated nearly 50 fellows,
many of whom have gone to work for companies such as Facebook, LinkedIn
and Uber.
