Open forum on incubation and incubator-stage companies in NYS

Berkeley Ventures is a new Bay Area incubator for early-

stage tech startups. In 2009, we announced our first four portfolio companies — all set to

take up residence in the firm’s 8,400 square-foot office space in. All portfolio companies

was handpicked based on their disruptive potential in each of our sectors.

As VentureBeat reported earlier, we distinguish ourselves from the other Bay Area

incubators that focus on similar areas. We extend our portfolio support services far

beyond the standard three-month program. We offer not only seed money but also rent-

free space in our building for three months, and discounted rent after that for as many

as two years. During this time, our portfolio companies also have access to mentorship,

legal and other services through Berkeley Ventures, as well as an advisory board to

connect with external investors.

We are accepting applications. Berkeley Ventures brings together experts from multiple

industries and sectors. You will receive the strategy, product, and operational answers

you need to help your business thrive. Our advisors include expert CEO's, investment

bankers, and venture capitalists to help grow your business. Berkeley Ventures is a

culture of collaboration and innovation.
