BPEP
Berkeley Postdoctoral Entrepreneur Program (BPEP) aims to foster entrepreneurship in the UC Berkeley postdoctoral and graduate community. We provide tools, mentoring, and a platform for science-business communication to enable research innovations to move into the marketplace. We believe entrepreneurship is an integral part of UC Berkeley's ethos, and aim to build a community of entrepreneurship among UC Berkeley's postdocs.
BPEP is happy to announce partnerships with SkyDeck, the campus premier startup accelerator program and Bakar fellows program at UC Berkeley. The Bakar fellows program fosters faculty entrepreneurship.
