Are you a venture capitalist with knowledge and skill in investing in start-up companies?

Are you an entrepreneur who has been successful in turning investors’ funds into a new enterprise in science or information technology?

Would you like to share your expertise in support of an eminent, world-class university and receive a substantial tax benefit at the same time?

UCLA’s Venture Capital Fund may be the perfect way for you to combine your professional skills with your philanthropic goals. Formed in 2000, the Fund offers a unique and dynamic way for UCLA supporters to join a community of forward-thinking friends, parents, and alumni in Los Angeles and the Silicon Valley who are using their venture capital expertise to increase crucial funding for UCLA entrepreneurship and to ultimately advance UCLA as one of the top entrepreneurial unviersities in the nation.

The UCLA Venture Capital Fund holds a series of annual events in both Northern and Southern California. These events pair UCLA entrepreneurs and venture capitalists with leading UCLA researchers, policy makers, and administrators.
