Dear Colleagues,
March was a great month for UCLA entrepreneurs. As detailed in the features below, one UCLA startup, NanoH2O was acquired by LG Chem for $200M, and another, C3 Jian raised $60M in Series D Financing. These events are illustrative of the growing culture of entrepreneurship at UCLA.
In addition, we hosted our 2nd Annual Medical Device Partnering event on March 11th, which attracted 240 registrants, more than double last year's number, and was universally lauded by those who attended. One comment that I received personally from a senior executive of a leading multinational medical device company was that it was the “best event of its kind in the world.”
We are excited by the success of our startups, and the increased engagement and interest from industry. We look forward to celebrating future successes!
Kindly,
Brendan Rauw
