UC Berkeley Affiliated VC Funds
UC Berkeley partners with a select group of venture capital funds to support and accelerate the university’s innovation ecosystem. These official campus partners invest in Berkeley-affiliated startups, providing critical capital, mentorship, and strategic guidance to help founders bring their ideas to market. They work in close collaboration with the UC Berkeley Venture Capital Services team to align investment strategies, steward campus equity, and maximize impact. In addition to their financial investments, these funds have a philanthropic component that directly benefits UC Berkeley, supporting programs, research, and initiatives across campus. Through these partnerships, the university not only strengthens its entrepreneurial pipeline but also ensures it shares in the economic and social value generated by its innovation.
