The Social Impact Innovation Grant Program–made possible by a generous gift from Ken Hao and Kathy Chiao–provides funding for current Berkeley students to explore and establish community-based projects that improve health equity within and across communities.

 The BASE program is a national, fully pro-bono effort (Ballard Spahr takes no equity or anything else from participants) that allows student entrepreneurs to grow their ventures. Each accepted student receives $10,000 in free legal services, accounting office hours provided by Wipfli, a national accounting firm, access to mentorship and networking opportunities, as well as monthly academic sessions. 

Morrison Foerster offers a complimentary ten-part series on the legal side of founding a startup. This weekly Friday seminar will arm you with the knowledge needed to manage the legal aspects of launching, funding, and growing a startup, with insights to avoid common mistakes that can have serious consequences down the road. We are excited to share that we plan to host this cycle of ScaleUp Speaker Series as a hybrid event offering participants the option to either attend virtually, or in person in our Palo Alto office at 755 Page Mill Road, Palo Alto, CA, and kindly note that we will also provide lunch.
