We would like to extend a warm thank you to our friends and colleagues who attended the recent VAI launch event on January 30th. We were encouraged not only by the strong turnout but also by the breadth of backgrounds and interests represented. We look forward to working in collaboration with you to make the UC Santa Barbara Venture Acceleration Initiative successful and beneficial to all its stakeholders.
If you were unable to attend the launch we hope you will be able to get a sense of the event from the content on this site. In addition to details and photos from the event and related news coverage we encourage you to explore the "How to get involved" section which presents a number of avenues via which you can engage with VAI and our campus entrepreneurs.
We are grateful to the Industry-University Cooperative Research Program (IUCRP) of the University of California Office of the President for sponsoring the VAI launch and for their ongoing support as we build the new program. | How did attendees respond to the VAI Launch Event?
