What is SkyDeck?
Berkeley SkyDeck was originally formed as a collaboration between UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business, the College of Engineering, and the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research. SkyDeck aims to create a vibrant ecosystem of advisors, industry partners, and accredited investors to empower startups to turn their visions into reality. Their support system includes a SkyAmbassador Network that promotes SkyDeck across the globe, a Strategy Council of experienced founders and investors, and a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion committee that promotes increased equitable access within SkyDeck cohorts.
They offer multiple programs that aim to support startups depending on which stage of growth they are in. Their SkyDeck Accelerator program awards a $200,000 investment for startups who are already in the process of receiving significant funding from top VCs. They also offer an Innovation Partners Program, where startups across various funding stages can apply to be accelerated for a three-month period at SkyDeck. Furthermore, their Pad-13 incubator program welcomes early-stage startups for a three-month period focused on growth and mentorship. SkyDeck welcomes startups across all industries, but also offers specialized tracks in fields such as crypto, aerospace, biotech, semiconductor chip, and climate tech. Through their diverse network and robust programming, SkyDeck aims to empower the success and growth of startups who are at the forefront of innovation.
