About Us
Xoogler School
Xoogler School is an educational and professional development program founded by Xoogler.co, a community of Googlers and ex-Googlers.
Mission Statement
Preparing students to jumpstart their career using the expertise of the Xoogler network.
What is Xoogler.co?
We are a group of Google alumni and current Googlers who help each other advance our ambitions in the startup ecosystem. The Xoogler community consists of startup founders, early team members, angel investors, VCs, C-suite executives and mentors.
We've seen how mentors in our community have been generous by helping Xoogler startup founders and supporting our past interns. Given these times, we aspire to activate our community to help college juniors and seniors who are considering taking a gap year versus returning to their classes online. Given our community's expertise and generosity, Xoogler.co is investing in the next generation to prepare them for the challenging job market.
The Evolution of Xoogler School
What started as an ambitious idea has since evolved into a powerful community of Xoogler School students and alumni that will be the trailblazers of their industry.
