Entrepreneurship

 

Our Entrepreneurship Program helps UCSF innovators consider entrepreneurship as a career to positively change the world for millions of people through a startup. We inform faculty, PhDs, MDs and Post Docs by providing knowledge, mentorship and an unparalleled network that gathers around the UCSF ecosystem. The program encompasses pragmatic education about entrepreneurship, events featuring life sciences/healthcare business leaders, informal networking get togethers, opportunities for visibility among funders and more. 

These programs are open to UC Berkeley, Stanford and the business community as we build upon the UCSF-based life sciences/healthcare ecosystem.  We believe in the collision theory, that good things happen when people unintentionally “collide”, making connections that may result in a startup idea, a cofounder, a team member, a mentor, an investor or expert.  Join our Entrepreneurship Newsletter for the latest on UCSF and community events.

Our global online entrepreneurship course, Global Life Sciences/Healthcare Entrepreneurship Course:  Virtual Master Class Direct from Silicon Valley, brings best practices from Silicon Valley to almost 40 countries worldwide. The 10 week, professional online course teaches essential business basics for startups. The course is offered once per year in the fall. See our course brochure.

Industry mentors with years of accomplished work experience, ranging from serial entrepreneurs to investors, provide individualized business guidance to founders.  If you are a UCSF startup or graduate of the Global Class, let us know your needs for a mentor.
