Lines of Credit and Working Capital Solutions for Business Owners
Having reliable access to working capital is critical to the health of any business. While there are many funding options, a secured line of credit is often the easiest and least expensive way to access working capital.
“Today, I am especially honored to build upon our partnership with NCWIT,” said Google Boulder Site Director Scott Green, in a prepared statement. “They are encouraging women technologists and we are thrilled to have NCWIT on our campus. We have the same goals of providing opportunity for all and increasing diversity in tech.”
Google is also giving a $1.5 million grant to the PhET Interactive Simulations project at CU Boulder, a project that makes interactive simulations to transform STEM education around the world. Google’s funding will advance the creation of these simulations and make them more accessible to students in developing countries and those with disabilities.
