UCLA Anderson Venture Accelerator

The Venture Accelerator at UCLA Anderson, housed within the Harold and Pauline Price Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation, is a transformative cohort-based program for early-stage startups and their founders. Our programs operate in a hybrid format and leverage the depth and breadth of UCLA’s resources to support and accelerate business growth. We are proud that 85% of the startups that go through our programs continue to scale successfully.
