Do you want to start a business? Are you looking for other like-minded entrepreneurs? Do you already have the next billion dollar idea? Do you need help in creating a business idea?

If so, then Ideas@Cal is your first stop. Our vision is to promote entrepreneurship at Cal by making it easier for students to navigate the process of starting a company. Ideas@Cal will hold ongoing events throughout the school year that are focused on:

    1) Helping students form startup teams and
    2) Helping students generate new business ideas

In addition, we will provide startup teams with a roadmap for how to get their company off the ground. Ideas@Cal has evolved from Ideas@Haas in order to encourage collaboration among all of the schools within Berkeley.

Upcoming events:

Ideas@Cal is holding an event on Thursday, October 29th from 4:30pm to 6:30pm in the Wozniak Lounge at Soda Hall. The purpose of this event is to provide a forum for entrepreneurs to come together and generate business ideas. The event will be highly interactive with brainstorming sessions in small groups and then several rounds of entrepreneur “speed-dating" that will allow participants to meet potential team members and to exchange ideas with others in the Cal community.

Space is limited for this free event, which will fill up fast. So please RSVP by signing up now through this survey link.
