Our Crowdfunding Groups
Our crowdfunding campaign has ended but you can still support the Anderson Venture Accelerator by clicking here.
The Venture Accelerator at UCLA Anderson is growing, and our startups are scaling quickly. Your donation will help us invest in founders today!
Our four annual programs provide startups direct access to industry leaders from top companies; connections with other founders; advice from faculty across the UCLA campus; and mentorship from investors and experts throughout the entrepreneurial ecosystem.
With your support, we can do even more to support innovative students and researchers.
We’re proud to be part of the Bruin Family and to support Bruin-Owned Businesses. Join us!

Make a gift today and support our startups
Our goal is to support early-stage founders creating successful businesses. Demand for the Venture Accelerator programs has exploded, but our funding and resulting opportunities for student founders remain restricted. We would love to expand the support for our founders but we need your help.
Your gift will be invested directly into the next generation of Bruin-led startups! Please join us in elevating the next generation of UCLA entrepreneurs.
Thank you!
