A Venture Capital Fund Benefiting UC Berkeley.
The Berkeley Catalyst Fund* works closely with UC Berkeley, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, UC San Francisco, associated incubators and accelerators, and alumni entrepreneurs to foster the vibrant startup ecosystem throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. Our sector focus is life sciences (therapeutics, diagnostics, medical devices), biotechnology, agriculture, cleantech (clean air, clean water, energy storage), and sensors. Our stage is primarily Seed and Series A.
*The Berkeley Catalyst Fund (BCF) is comprised of legal entities that are completely separate from the University. The UC Berkeley Foundation is a Special Limited Partner in the BCF. BCF also has a contractual relationship with the University.
