About

The College Entrepreneurship Organization at Berkeley has one mission: connecting the undergraduate entrepreneurs in the UC Berkeley community and providing them with the skills, tools, and connections they need to succeed with their ventures.

Below are some of the programs we provide for our members:

Entrepreneurship Crash Course: Starting a Business Decal

CEOB founders Aditya Mahesh and Saleh Altayyar are teaching a DeCal on youth entrepreneurship open to all current UC Berkeley students.

The course is meant to help foster an interest in entrepreneurship. It will be interactive, taking students through the process of starting their own business. Every week different areas of starting a business will be covered and students will constantly be working on a course-long project starting their own business. Students will draft a business idea, conduct market research, take the first steps necessary to start their business, work to acquire financing, and more. While most projects will be “mock” it is our hope that this course-long project will help students find their entrepreneurial spirit and give students ideas of entrepreneurial endeavors they may be interested in pursuing. It is also our hope that any students with low-cost startups will actually begin working on them after this course.
