Here are the slides from Tuesday.
*Slides have been slightly edited for clarity. If you see something’s different..no you don’t <3
Weekly Nights (Fall, Winter, Spring)
Weekly Nights is a year-round program where we host workshops, presentations, and fireside chats every Tuesday evening at 7:30 PM. We go over a variety of different business/tech topics, discuss current events, and invite super cool speakers to provide you with a holistic and comprehensive overview of everything entrepreneurship. Weekly Nights will be held on Zoom at tinyurl.com/beweeklynights.

The goal of our general membership program is to create an intimate community of entrepreneurs. You’ll have the opportunity to work on a hands-on project, interact with other people interested in entrepreneurship, and have priority for any office tours or special speaker events throughout the year!

Startup Labs (Winter, Spring)
Applications are for the 2021 Cohort are open!
Want to turn your idea into a product? Join the Startup Labs cohort! Startup Labs is Bruin Entrepreneurs’ in-house accelerator, where we connect student founders with resources, mentors, and a curriculum-based program to cultivate their budding businesses.
1000 Pitches (Fall)
We are live! Visit the website here for more info & an example pitch!
1000 Pitches is our annual pitching campaign designed to boost entrepreneurial thinking on campus. For four weeks, students (like you!) pitch their crazy startup ideas, wildest dreams, and favorite products to us. The top pitches will have the opportunity to present their ideas in front of a panel of VC judges and compete for prizes.
Startup Fair (Winter)
Startup Fair is a unique career fair where we connect students with job and internship opportunities at startups in LA! If you’re interested in founding your own startup or working at one in the future, this is a great opportunity to gain genuine work experience in a dynamic, fast-paced, and creative environment.
Designathon (Spring)
Designathon is UCLA’s first design-focused hackathon, where we teach attendees about the importance of design thinking. Through workshops, speakers, and panels, students will learn all about design, how these skills are transferable to any industry, as well as work in teams to tackle real world problems.
