Black History Month: Celebrating the success of Black founders with Google Cloud: Switchboard Live
Summary
The valuable experience I gained from manually working through the technical aspects and processes of streaming early in my career, illuminated the highly-scalable potential of a technology like Switchboard Live. While initially, Switchboard Live focused on providing houses of worship a way to connect remote congregations together, we quickly realized there was a massive need for this technology across industries. Furthermore, leveraging Google employees to receive additional guidance in areas of marketing and sales empowered us to look beyond our initial goals and reach even higher to meet our customer needs. We were even able to receive mentorship from our fellow black-led startups in our cohort, on matters such as accounting, legal agreements, and partnerships.Connecting with a community of Black founders influenced me dramatically. Google has paved the way for many Black founders, including myself, to share their innovative ideas and game-changing technology with a wider audience, ultimately empowering us to more readily serve our customers and communities.
