Berkeley SkyDeck Accelerator

Berkeley SkyDeck

Founder opportunity at Berkeley SkyDeck in Berkeley, CA — equity.

UC Berkeley's flagship startup accelerator, running a 6-month program that gives 20-25 Cohort teams a $210,000 investment from the Berkeley SkyDeck Fund, plus access to 900+ advisors and $750K+ in in-kind resources. A larger Pad-13 track offers many of the same resources without guaranteed funding.

📍 Berkeley, CAEquity

Who can apply

Startups from any vertical and any country; UC-affiliated founders and international startups are a stated priority, but Berkeley affiliation is not strictly required.

How to prepare

Review SkyDeck's public program page for the Cohort vs. Pad-13 track distinction; roughly two-thirds of past selected companies have come from outside the U.S., so international founders should not self-select out.
