Botco.ai, a GenAI Chat Cloud company, recently announced it was selected by Google as a recipient of $150,000 as part of Google’s Latino Founder Fund.

Botco.ai CEO Rebecca Clyde, originally from Costa Rica, co-founded the company in 2018 to support Latino entrepreneurs in the U.S., according to a press release, noting how Clyde has overseen the company’s growth within the intelligent chat industry, enabling “businesses to engage people through helpful, relevant and personalized AI conversations that convert strangers into customers.”

“I am incredibly honored to have been selected as the proud recipient of the prestigious Google Latino Founders Fund,” said Clyde in the release.

“This recognition is a testament to our advanced innovation and the immense potential of the Botco.ai GenAI Chat Cloud. With the support and resources offered by this award, Botco.ai will forge ahead in our mission to revolutionize customer engagement and transform the way businesses connect with their audiences.”

The Google for Startups Latino Founders Fund provides $150,000 cash awards — without giving up equity in return — and hands-on support to help Latino entrepreneurs build and grow their businesses in the country. In addition to non-dilutive capital and up to $100,000 in Google Cloud credits, recipients receive hands-on mentorship from Googlers, plus other resources such as sales training, investor prep, mental health therapy, and community offerings at no cost.

“We are extremely proud to be supporting the work done by Botco.ai with the 2023 Google for Startups Latino Founders Fund,” said Google for Startups Marketing Lead Daniel Navarro in the release. “Botco.ai’s mission to empower businesses with people through helpful, relevant, and personalized AI conversations stood out amongst applicants and we are looking forward to helping them continue making an impact in the CRM and software industry.”

Botco.ai recently launched its GenAI Chat Cloud, a suite of generative AI products to enable enterprises to transform its sales, marketing and customer relationship initiatives through the latest advances in generative AI. The company helps businesses in healthcare, wellness, government, franchise operations and other industries to leverage the power of genAI and conversational marketing to engage prospects and customers, increase revenue, and derive valuable insights, the release said.

“We will leverage this invaluable opportunity to further expand our reach, empower our team, and solidify our position as trailblazers in genAI chat,” added Clyde.

“With the aid of this fund, Botco.ai will amplify our efforts in creating personalized and meaningful customer interactions, fostering deeper connections between businesses and their diverse audiences. We will invest in cutting-edge research and development, nurturing the next generation of AI-driven solutions that empower businesses to deliver exceptional customer experiences.”
