Startup companies embody the entrepreneurial spirit and culture at UC Berkeley

Berkeley researchers have developed the technologies that catalyzed the formation of over 27% of the 480-plus start-ups that have licensed technology from the UC System.  Through the licensing of Berkeley technology, these start-ups transform the University's basic research into innovative products and entirely new industries.  As of 2011, over 30 had received ~$40M in SBIR and STTR funding, combined. The formation of these companies improves our quality of life and economic vitality by creating valuable products and new jobs, as well as paying corporate taxes and purchasing supplies from local industries.  This tradition of entrepreneurial excellence at Berkeley has spearheaded the Bay Area's dominance in the information technology and biotechnology industries.
