Startup Semester Begins

Welcome to Startup Semester at UC Berkeley for Fall 2017.   We're excited to have everyone here for the first edition of this international program.   

We've accepted some amazing students from all over the world.  They've been here for two weeks and we're asking everyone to write a blog about their experience.   We meet once a week on Wednesdays from 11-12 in the Sutardja Center for Entrepreneurship & Technology located in Memorial Stadium.

So far we've covered:
-  History of Silicon Valley
-  Silicon Valley Culture
and we'll have plenty of interesting lectures and field trips to come.

As for background, know that:

This exclusive full semester program, targeted at upper division undergraduates, will provide qualified students from around the world access to faculty and curriculum in a leading entrepreneurship program.

The program is created for students who are interested in:

• Increasing their technical knowledge of entrepreneurship and innovation

• Advancing a startup or startup idea

• Understanding how to commercialize research

• Experiencing the entrepreneurial culture of Silicon Valley and the Bay Area

We're accepting applications for Spring 2018.  Due by Oct 15.  Definitely contact us to learn more.   Go Bears...!
