Internet giant Google has launched a new network for tech start-ups that\u2019s part of the company\u2019s \u201cGoogle for Entrepreneurs,\u201d a two-year initiative currently operating in more than 100 countries that helps foster entrepreneurship and add new jobs in communities all over the world.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Dubbed \u201cGoogle for Entrepreneurs Tech Hub Network<\/em>,” the new program announced on Google\u2019s official blog<\/a> will provide financial support as well as access to Google services, platforms and mentors to seven tech hub partners located in the United States and Canada. \u201cWe believe these hubs have pioneered a new approach to launching a business, and it\u2019s our mission to help support them,\u201d said John Lyman, head of partnerships for Google for Entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n

The first Tech Hub Network partners under the Google umbrella are:<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 1871 in Chicago, IL<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 American Underground in Durham, N.C.<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Communitech in Waterloo, Canada<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Coco in Minneapolis, MN<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Galvanize in Denver, CO<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Nashville Entrepreneur Center in Nashvile, TN<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Grand Circus in Detroit, MI<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Grand Circus is a technology training institute that occupies approximately 15,000 square feet at 1570 Woodward Avenue across from Detroit\u2019s historic Grand Circus Park, in the recently renovated Broderick Tower<\/a>. The tech center co-founded by Damien Rocchi and Bradley Hoos will soon house nearly 50 entrepreneurs expected to have an impact on the city\u2019s booming tech scene.<\/p>\n

Grand Circus occupies three floors at the Broderick Tower and it\u2019s located next to the M@dison Building, Detroit\u2019s first business incubator which now houses 25 technology start-ups. In fact, according to a press statement, Grand Circus recently joined \u201cThe M@dison Block,\u201d a new partnership that also includes Detroit Venture Partners (DVP), Dan Gilbert\u2019s Bedrock Real Estate Services, Google and start-up accelerator Bizdom.<\/p>\n

Anchored by the M@dison Theatre Building\u2014where Twitter opened its first Detroit office back in Spring 2012<\/a>\u2014\u201cThe M@dison Block\u201d comprises the entire block of buildings near Grad Circus Park in Downtown Detroit and is seen as ground zero for entrepreneurship in the region.<\/p>\n

\u201cGoogle heard consistently from tech hubs that they wanted to be part of a larger network, to learn from each other and collaborate on ideas. We are happy to facilitate that,\u201d said Lyman.<\/p>\n
