WE ARE
BUILDERS.

Berkeley's premier startup organization. We don't just talk about entrepreneurship; we build the ecosystem.

Our Thesis

The numbers don't lie. UC Berkeley produces more venture-backed founders than any university in the world. And why is that?

We believe its because of 3 reasons:

1.
The hustle culture that exists on campus
No one got here through backdoors; it took grit, grades, and grind. You look around and everyone's doing something: building a startup, running a club, doing research, working two jobs. With 45,000 students, there's no hand-holding.
2.
Proximity to the biggest startup ecosystem
We're 25 minutes from San Francisco and Sand Hill Road. You can grab coffee with a founder in the morning, sit in on a VC pitch in the afternoon, and make it back for your evening class. You're surrounded by people who've actually built companies, raised rounds, failed and tried again.
3.
Berkeley's unique diversity of thought
We're not a homogenous student body building the same SaaS tool. We are engineers, poets, pre-meds, poly-sci majors. Berkeley's always been about questioning everything. That same spirit that challenged broken systems in the '60s now drives us to challenge broken industries.

So whats E@B's place?

We belive that entreprenurship can't be taught in a classroom; the hunger and desire to think outside the box is innate to an individual. With so many talented individuals on campus, our job isn't to create entrepreneurs — it's to find them, put them in the same room, and wait for a spark.

We run build sessions where things get shipped, founder dinners where you hear real stories, demo days where companies launch. Direct pipelines to what you need: investors, incubators, mentors, and co-founders.

We believe ambition is contagious. We're building the environment where it spreads fastest.

So, if you're building something, come build with us.
