Google’s mission is to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful. As a first step to fulfilling that mission, Google's founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin developed a new approach to online search that took root in a Stanford University dorm room and quickly spread to information seekers around the globe. Google is now widely recognized as the world's largest search engine -- an easy-to-use free service that usually returns relevant results in a fraction of a second.
Google is headquartered in Silicon Valley with offices throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia.
Become a Tiger Team Sponsor
We are interested in partnering with a small group of companies that are interested in novel approaches to interdisciplinary problems. The Tiger Teams competition represents a unique, grassroots approach to solving the challenges of usable security — by incenting student teams to both select a novel problem area and a solution to that problem, we encourage innovative solutions.
Your sponsorship makes it possible for a student team to pursue their research — funds are used directly for the support of student assistantships during the duration of their work. We encourage sponsoring companies to meet with potential Tiger Teamers during the seminar (which allows students to hear about real-life problems in industry that they may decide to tackle in their projects), help with the selection of winning teams, and be involved in the mentoring of winning teams.
