If you are interested in sponsorship and judging opportunities for the 2012 Competition, please contact the Competition Sponsorship Team.


The UC Berkeley Startup Competition is entirely self-funded. We owe an enormous debt of gratitude to the financial sponsors whose contributions have made the Competition a success over the years.

Sponsorship Benefits Include:

  1. Deepen your firm’s relationship with a world-class institution fostering innovation and entrepreneurship
  2. Gain broad access to ideas and technologies including those generated from UC Berkeley and UC San Francisco-related laboratories
  3. Benefit from visibility and networking opportunities gained through the Competition’s activities with students, successful entrepreneurs, and venture capitalists
  4. Opportunity to judge entries in the executive summary, semi-final and final rounds of the Competition (judging round dependent on sponsorship level) and to host an Entrepreneurial Best Practices Series Workshop (schedule permitting)
