⚒️ UC Berkeley SkyDeck’s Batch 23’s Resource Fair was a success!
Booth by booth, founders met partners across cloud infrastructure, finance, legal, immigration, HR, hardware, and more. This is the kind of access that makes SkyDeck special.
The event concluded with an afternoon of workshops from our partners where founders got to learn how their resources can help them build.
Thank you to the partners who showed up with such generosity: Microsoft for Startups, Rho, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Carta, WilmerHale, Nebius, Rippling, Siemens, Serotte Immigration Partners, Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP, Sheppard, and Cole-Frieman & Mallon LLP. We’re so lucky to have you in our corner.

🎉 Congrats to SkyDeck alum Vectorial AI (Batch 21, Accelerator) on their $3M seed round, co-led by Smilegate and SenseAI Ventures!
Vectorial helps product, design, and marketing teams test a new feature, campaign, or AI agent on thousands of modeled users before any real person sees it. That means answers in minutes, not weeks.
Their behavior model, SAPIENS, has modeled 2.5M+ real people and run 30,000+ simulations. Customers like GoodRx, Midi Health, and Everkind are running about 600 simulations a month, roughly 20x more research than before.
👏 Please join us in celebrating co-founders Taranveer Singh (CEO, CAIO), Jasmine Kaur (CBO), and Rahul Garg (CPO), and the whole Vectorial team. We can’t wait to see what’s next! SkyDeck is proud to support Vectorial, alongside the Berkeley AI Research Lab.

🚀 Welcome to Berkeley, Batch 23!
Our newest batch of SkyDeck Accelerator founders had their orientation today, and we couldn’t be more excited. 16 teams joined us, chosen from a 0.4% acceptance rate.
They’re building across AI agent trust and safety, AI compute and energy, physical AI and robotics, space and defense technology, chip manufacturing, cybersecurity, and healthcare. Stay tuned. You’ll meet them on the Demo Day stage this April.
Please join us in congratulating this batch in the comments!

🌱 We loved welcoming Berkeley SCET’s Regenerative Ventures Challenge Lab to SkyDeck last week!
The class is taught by Rana Kanaan, whom SkyDeck is excited to welcome as our new interim Pad-13 Director! A favorite SkyDeck advisor and winner of SCET’s Outstanding Instructor Award, Rana is passionate about helping founders reach their goals and talking with young entrepreneurs, and it showed.
50 students across 11 startup teams filled the space to learn about SkyDeck, our mission, and ways to get involved.
Our marketing assistant, Kayla Chang, shared her SkyDeck journey, from attending the intern fair to working with the team today, and shared how students can get involved in the SkyDeck ecosystem. She also shared what she thinks makes a great startup: storytelling, creativity, and teamwork.
🥇The future of startups is at Berkeley, ranked #1 by PitchBook for the number of VC-backed startups.
🎟️ Want to be part of the action? Our Spring 2027 intern fair is on November 13. https://airtable.com/app8UfZ6wRGno6JKS/shrWY3IwzAKPPgnuu
Thank you, Rana and students, for your curiosity and energy. We can’t wait to see what you build.

🎉 Welcome to Berkeley, KISED founders!
This week, we kicked off our KISED program, a four-week, in-person immersion in Berkeley’s innovation ecosystem for AI and deep tech founders.
Over the next four weeks, founders will:
🧠 Dig into storytelling, commercialization, and positioning in workshops, and get go-to-market, customer discovery, and fundraising advice from SkyDeck advisors
🔬 Visit UC Berkeley labs and hear from a technology luminary
🐻 Explore campus, cheer on Cal football, and build friendships with fellow founders
🎤 Show their progress at the KISED Pitch Showcase
Our goal is to help these teams pressure-test their ideas, build lasting relationships, and establish a foothold in the U.S. innovation ecosystem.
Thank you to our partners at KISED, and to everyone helping make this program possible.

🚀 Building a startup starts with an idea. Turning it into a venture takes the right guidance, community, and support.
That’s what Pad-13 at Berkeley SkyDeck is designed to help founders do — and we’re excited to welcome Rana Kanaan as its new Interim Director.
Rana already knows the SkyDeck community, having advised SkyDeck founders. Over the past year, she’s also been at UC Berkeley’s Sutardja Center for Entrepreneurship & Technology (SCET), helping turn early-stage ideas into real ventures. She designed SCET’s Regenerative Ventures Challenge Lab from the ground up and was named Best Instructor in her first semester teaching it.
She also brings 20+ years of product leadership experience, including serving as Chief Product Officer and helping build technology products from zero to $1.5B at companies including Citrix, Workspot, and HG Insights. Having founded a startup herself, she understands the challenges of building from the ground up and has been coaching founders through TechWomen, Big Ideas, and Blue Startups.
Founder. Operator. Mentor. Educator. Rana brings a rare combination of experience to founders navigating the earliest stages of building a company.
Rana calls herself “a builder of builders.” For founders with big ideas and the ambition to turn them into real companies, we’re excited to have her leading the way.

🎉 Congrats to SkyDeck alum Feather Robotics (Batch 20, Pad-13) on a $7.6M pre-seed led by Gradient Ventures!
Feather is building the “Android of robotics” for developers: a modular humanoid platform where hardware, like arm length, can be customized for each use case, running models from leading robotics AI providers like Nvidia, Skild, and Physical Intelligence.
Developers can buy a roughly $30,000 robot and build on top of it, without first building the machine and software stack themselves. Feather has generated more than $1M in revenue less than two years after founding.
Congrats to co-founders Hoa Mai, Parsa Bakhtiari, and the whole Feather team!

🎙️ Two Berkeley powerhouses. One conversation.
Nobel laureate Jennifer Doudna and SkyDeck Chip Track co-chair Alberto Sangiovanni-Vincentelli sat down in Milan to talk about what it takes to turn discovery into real-world impact.
Some of our highlights:
🧬 Taking discoveries from the lab to the market, and why timing can make or break a breakthrough
🤝 Closing the loop between academia and industry, from CRISPR to the chips inside every device we use
🌍 What it takes to build an innovation ecosystem (Silicon Valley took 50 years)
💡 Making breakthrough technologies accessible and affordable at scale
Curiosity, serendipity, and the ecosystems that turn ideas into companies. We’re proud to see the Berkeley innovation ecosystem in action all over the world.

🎉 Congrats to SkyDeck alum Coreshell (Batch 10, Accelerator) on a $50M U.S. Department of Energy award!
⚡ Coreshell replaces graphite in lithium-ion batteries with metallurgical silicon, a material that can be sourced domestically.
🏭 The award will fund Coreshell’s mission to create the first U.S. gigafactory dedicated to lithium-ion batteries with anodes made entirely from metallurgical silicon, creating more than 100 domestic jobs. The result is a more secure battery supply chain for EVs and defense.
👏 Congrats to co-founders Jonathan Tan & Roger Basu + the whole Coreshell team!
