Class Description
OVERVIEW
This is an in-person EECS seminar for PhD students who are interested in or currently creating startups out of research. Physical attendance is mandatory.
This class is taught by Berkeley EECS Professors and PhD alumni experienced in starting deeply technical companies around industry-defining technologies.
We will connect you to a large network of CS PhD and faculty founders and executives at dozens of unicorns, decacorns, and centicorns.
This is the third run in our Research to Startup 294 seminar series. Whereas the first 2 classes were a high-level intro to startups and a YC-inspired launchpad for students already working on startups, this course is more of a traditional reading + discussion group and guest speaker series.
