Recruitment timeline coming soon. Follow us on Instagram for updates.
Members

Startup Labs
For UCLA founders looking to build and grow their company or idea through Startup Labs. The 10-week equity-free accelerator provides mentorship, resources, and hands-on support and ends with a Demo Day.
We will email everyone on the interest form when applications open.
About
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.
Alumni
Where our members have gone
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.
