Strong partners
We are collaborators with the rest of the ecosystem at Berkeley. From Skydeck to BPEP to I-Corps we respect what they do and contribute to their success. We also have external parties working with us including the National Security Innovation Network and the National Security Academic Accelerator. We are looking to grow our partner list.
The best programmatic approach
Our team has decades of experience in innovation and entrepreneurship and its teaching. We have selected and curated a set of courses, activities and experiences that get you up the learning curve as fast as possible.
Building careers
Universities are primary player in the global innovation economy. Increasingly, tenure track positions at universities are recognizing a candidate’s entrepreneurial activities as part of their career portfolio. Entrepreneurial skills are becoming more and more important in the research world also driven by relevancy of research to the commercial world.
Unlocking the funds to help you along the way
To speed you along your way, we have developed a set of funds that are available to you. They are success biased - with more funding available as you progress through the activities.
A super team
We are a small group led by Rich Lyons, the Chief Innovation and Entrepreneurship Officer at UC Berkeley. The team includes Errol Arkilic, David Charron, Yvette Lane-Newton, Naresh Sunkara, and Rhonda Shrader.
