Berkeley Venture Capital is a student-run organization that aims to develop students' interest in venture capital and startup activity on campus. We seek to address Berkeley students' ingenuity in engineering, analysis, and business management with an equally developed venture capital student organization to serve students' needs when exploring the Bay Area's VC landscape.​​
​The BVC fund seeks to make minority stake investments in startups from pre-seed to series D. The goal of the fund is to find scalable and world-changing entrepreneurs and help them grow with investments and capital-raising advisory services.​ BVC conducts proprietary due diligence with entrepreneurs, venture capitalists/angel investors, and industry experts to write check sizes from $30-200k.
$200k+ Check Sizes
​Our systematic valuation approach favors business models of quick scalability, recurring revenue, and technological leadership.
3 Core Pillars
BVC's core activities are guided by our three pillars:
Education, Professional Development, and Community.
Education
Our fellowship curriculum was designed with hands-on practicality in mind. Paired with a VC, our fellows are guided through the startup sourcing and screening process and present a final deliverable to close their fellowship.
Professional Development
We aim to further our members' readiness for industry-level work in a variety of fields. Equipped with the venture acumen from their fellowship, our members now posses the knowledge to work on advanced, collaborative projects with VC's.
Community
One of the strongest aspects about the Bay Area ecosystem is its diversity of thought. We aim to bring together voices from different industries to foster thought provoking discussion and strengthen our community while doing so.
