Thanks to all of your support, we did it! Together, we met our goal of $50,000 and then we blew that away by raising $76,635. This means that not only are all of this years ten Summer Accelerator teams fully funded, but also that we are well underway toward our 10th anniversary $1 million challenge to increase Startup UCLA's impact for years to come.

Thank you for leading the way in spreading generosity so that students like Andrew and Rish can fully realize the potential of their language learning web application startup, Hwalgi. 

We're nearly to our goal and excited to let you know about a special opportunity! Thanks to a generous donor, from now until we reach $50,000, gifts of any size will be doubled. That makes today the perfect time to spread the word about our 10th anniversary giving campaign. 

Reaching our goal will allow teams like Kindu TV to bring their ideas to market. Kindu TV is on a mission to replace YouTube in the classroom, which is currently the most visited education website by teachers. Kindu boasts a growing library of 15,000+ crowdsourced and classroom-ready videos and collections. In the future, they plan to continue to grow their library of content while also beginning to license content exclusively for Kindu. Learn more at kindu.io.

Thanks to your generous support, we are over halfway to our goal! Our teams recently pitched their ideas at Demo Day, gaining lots of great feedback and experience. Though they have now officially completed the Summer Accelerator, there is still time for us to reach our goal of $50,000 to ensure all ten teams have the seed funding they need to keep developing their startups. You can help us keep the momentum going by spreading the word about this giving campaign and inviting others to join in: https://spark.ucla.edu/startup2021.
