Bruin Ventures

We are UCLA’s premier venture capital organization dedicated to introducing UCLA’s brightest students to venture capital, entrepreneurship and startup culture through a rigorous training quarter, inspiring guest speakers, consulting projects with LA’s leading venture capital firms, and collaborations with startups. Our goal within UCLA is to establish a community that inspires startup culture and sparks talent to pursue innovative ventures. Our club’s greatest strength lies in our diversity. As one of the only organizations at UCLA that combines students from business, engineering, and liberal arts, we are uniquely suited to explore startups in a variety of ways. Since the organization has started, sixty analysts have gone through rigorous training to be able to assess startups both qualitatively and quantitatively. This is only the beginning, and we are excited to grow our talent pool through our fall recruitment cycle. Our comprehensive program successfully develops a passion for venture capital in our students, while preparing them to obtain internships and full-time jobs in the field, inspiring to be the movers and shakers of our generation. Every year, Bruin Ventures carefully accepts ~15 analysts from hundreds of applications. Each accepted individual has the qualities necessary to be an integral member in the growth of our club and has a passion to learn and to grow. Becoming a member of BV is an exciting time and is a hands-on learning experience that cannot be matched in the classroom.
