Chris Fong is the founder of the Google alumni community Xoogler Ventures and cofounder of Key AI — Co-Founder

After 7 years at Google, I was able to land my "dream job". I worked with all the different Google product areas (e.g. Ads, Cloud, YouTube, Nest, Chrome, Android/Play, etc) and partnered with them as the "Project Sand Hill" team. It was a small team under Google's VP for Partnerships that worked with the top startups like Coinbase, Lyft, MyFitnessPal, HotelTonight in 2014-15. When I left to do my own startup, I started the Xoogler.co community as I saw many Xooglers and Googlers that were interested in helping each other. It's now grown to over 24,000 members with over 100 volunteers running it globally. We've launched Xoogler School (https://www.xooglerschool.com/) and a Jobs Marketplace (https://jobs.xoogler.co/) to help folks get educated by Xooglers and help companies hire Xooglers while helping Xooglers find jobs.
