SUPPORT CAL THROUGH THE POWER OF BERKELEY ENTREPRENEURS

Entrepreneurship is thriving at UC Berkeley. Since 2013, CITRIS Foundry has supported over 135 entrepreneurs building technologies that are changing the future. Walk into our brand-new entrepreneurship center on campus and you’ll see them working at the frontiers of gene editing, artificial intelligence, programmable hardware, energy systems, and other powerful technologies.

 

Our view is that the biggest opportunities will appear where disciplines collide — when the lines between engineering, computer science, biology, and other tech sectors begin to blur. The University of California’s culture and ecosystem form a radical space where these opportunities are created daily.

 

Building upon the successes and track record of CITRIS Foundry, the Blue Bear Ventures Philanthropic Fund offers a new way to support a leading portfolio of deep technology startups from the University of California.
