Do I need to be aware of any conflicts of interest or conflicts of commitment?

Simply advising startup companies doesn’t create a conflict. However, conflicts can arise if, for example: (a) you or the startup conduct commercial work in your lab, or (b) you are compensated by the startup and advise the startup more than the allowable number of days. 

Here’s a good resource regarding conflicts of interests: https://researchcoi.berkeley.edu/faq.html

Note that UC Berkeley has a program administered by IPIRA that enables startups affiliated with the university’s accelerators to conduct new product R&D in faculty labs – under certain conditions.
