Celebrating Innovation and the UCLA Entrepreneurial Ecosystem

March 5 @ 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Thursday, March 5, 5 pm – 8 pm

Join fellow Bruins for an evening grounded in community and mutual support as we highlight founders, investors, and change makers within the UCLA alumni ecosystem. The program will feature a panel of UCLA alumni and affiliates who are actively building companies, deploying capital, and supporting ventures – all while uplifting the UCLA community. Through candid conversation, panelists will share lessons from their journeys, the role of mentorship and access, and how the Bruin network has served as a powerful platform for collaboration and long-term success. Following the panel, three competitively selected startups supporting social good will deliver live investment pitches. These presentations are designed not only to showcase innovation, but also to foster bonds across generations of Bruins who believe our impact is greatest when we show up for one another. The evening will conclude with intentional networking, creating space for Bruins to reconnect, form new relationships, and continue building a community. This event is co-hosted by Anderson Black Alumni and Bruin Angels. We look forward to seeing you there! Appetizers will be served.
