Google for Start-ups has today announced the line-up of the first 2019 Residency cohort which will spotlight start-ups using machine learning technology to make a positive social impact. The six companies involved tackle a range of issues spanning mental health to rare disease detection, social inequality to unconscious bias in the hiring process.

Google for Start-ups Residency brings growth-stage start-ups the best of Google’s products, connections, and best practices. Each startup receives tailored mentorship and workspace at the Google for Start-ups London Campus. In 2018 alone, 11 start-ups participated in the Google for Startups Residency, raising over $12.7m and creating over 86 jobs.

The 2019 Residency programme will be led in tandem by newly appointed head of Google for Start-ups UK and serial entrepreneur, Marta Krupinska and her team. Marta is best known for co-founding the global FinTech company Azimo, which offers low cost digital money transfers.

Marta Krupinska, head of Google for Start-ups UK said, โ€œTechnology is just a tool, what matters is what you do with it. With start-ups shaping the world in which weโ€™ll get to live tomorrow, weโ€™re committed to supporting companies that use tech for good, and weโ€™re so happy to see that some of the strongest developments in this space are happening right here in the UK.โ€
