In the late 1990s, Google was just a start-up company operating out of a garage in Palo Alto, California. Co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin started the company while studying at Stanford University. Google's founders and its employees, then, understood some of the challenges that entrepreneurs around the world may face. An entrepreneur is a person who starts a business. They must be willing to risk financial loss in order to make money.
Mary Grove is the director of a program called Google for Entrepreneurs. She said Google wants to help new start-up businesses grow and be successful.
Google for Entrepreneurs has opened campuses around the world. Entrepreneurs in each city can use Google's buildings without paying. Entrepreneurs can work with each other and learn from people who are more experienced in business.
Yeram Kwon is the head of a company in South Korea. Her business is called I.M.Lab. It makes a product that helps people learn to perform the lifesaving technique called CPR. She said she has learned how to solve some of her business's problems by attending Google events in Seoul.
Outside of its own buildings in these cities, Google provides financial support and resources for partner organizations around the world. Building partnerships is a way for Google to spread the idea of entrepreneurialism around the world. Google can use its network to help find people who want to invest in start-up businesses. Those people need to be ready to take risks. That is something Kwon said that makes some Koreans uncomfortable. "Most Korean people think that it is much safer to work for big companies like Samsung and LG," she said.
But, Kwon said the Korean government and technology companies are now supporting people willing to take business risks.
