Event Details

Please join us for an evening of networking

at the first meeting of the UC Santa Cruz Entrepreneurship and Business Group, a new association of UCSC alumni and friends who live and work in the Silicon Valley. The group's aim is to connect fellow alums with business leaders, which can lead to business connections, employment, or investment opportunities.

 

Our inaugural event features Dan Heller (College Eight ’85), the new executive director of UCSC's Center for Entrepreneurship, and the CEO of the non-profit "Startup Lab."  These two entities work together to streamline tech-transfer of IP from UCSC into new ventures.  Mr. Heller will explain the center operations, the tech-transfer process, and the opportunities available for those who want to be CEOs of these startups.

 

Attendees will also be invited to an event on campus at the end of June, where they can meet the inventors who will be presenting their IP in greater detail. Most inventions have been patented and are (or near) ready for business plan formation and execution. Opportunities range across all the sciences, including computer science (games, networking, apps, and storage), computer engineering, robotics, physics, chemistry, adaptive optics, life sciences, genomics, informatics, and green-tech.

 

Light refreshments will be served.

  • Organizing networking events for alumni to make connections in their career fields;
  • Supporting and providing online networking opportunities for alumni;
  • Supporting the creation of internship opportunities for UCSC students at members’ companies;
  • Providing news of events on and off campus that would give members opportunities to meet the top upcoming students in their field;
  • Providing a forum for people to ask questions of the group and share information about upcoming events of interest, such as conferences and local groups related to our mission.
