About

Bruin Entrepreneurs members on the steps of Royce Hall

Bruin Entrepreneurs is UCLA's premier student-led entrepreneurship organization, founded in 2012. We bring together students, founders, investors, and industry leaders to grow UCLA's entrepreneurial community.

Through Startup Labs, events, workshops, and industry partnerships, we support students building companies and give members hands-on exposure to the startup ecosystem. Members support Startup Labs founders, help organize events and initiatives, and gain access to founders, investors, internships, cofounders, and a community of students passionate about entrepreneurship.

Startup Labs

Startup Labs is our zero-equity accelerator for early-stage startups founded by UCLA students, alumni and faculty. We select a cohort in the fall and another in mid-winter. Throughout the program, founders receive hands-on support, mentorship and access to resources as they build and grow their companies. Each cohort concludes with Demo Day where founders present to investors and the UCLA startup community.
