This public land-grant research university is located in Irvine, California. UCI’s ANTrepreneur Center is an inclusive hub for innovation and a space where mentors help student or alumni entrepreneurs turn their ambitions into concrete business ventures. This resource is available to all UCI undergraduates and, regardless of their major, provides one-on-one coaching, startup methodology education, professional development through guest speakers, hackathons and other engaging challenges.
