Opportunities

StEP is the largest startup incubator program on campus, which is creating the next generation of UC Berkeley startups. If you have a business idea, or want to JOIN a startup team, this program is a great opportunity to StEP into the exploration of business and entrepreneurship.

UC Launch is designed to support early-stage startups that have already validated their idea, achieved product-market fit, and are ready to scale rapidly. To date, we’ve supported 300+ startups that have collectively raised $2.4B+, including 16+ YC companies, 15+ acquisitions, and 3 unicorns

Do you have a STEM tech innovation based startup or startup idea? Berkeley NSF I-Corps offers a free, remote 10 day customer discovery course where you’ll conduct at least 20 customer discovery interviews to validate who your customer is and why, and accelerate finding product market fit. The October course has 3 sessions on Zoom on October 5, 8, & 15 from 5-8pm PT. You need to have a team of at least 2 teammates in order to participate, and it’s ~30-40 hour time commitment over the course.
