Many universities. Many ways to begin.
We welcome applicants from all sorts of universities, including Stanford, UC Berkeley, Harvard, UCLA, USC, community colleges, and universities around the world. Researchers, students, industry engineers, and self-taught builders can all bring valuable experience.
Explore your research community
Look for open seminars, entrepreneurship programs, research groups, and technology transfer resources at your own university. Public research from groups such as Stanford SAIL and Berkeley BAIR can help you explore a field before you apply. These are independent resources, not Redko Labs affiliations.
Show the work behind your ambition
A paper, thesis, open-source contribution, experiment, prototype, or deeply understood customer problem can explain more than a school name. In your application, describe your own contribution, a difficult decision, what failed, and what you learned. Include public links you have permission to share.
Apply from any starting point
We welcome applicants from all sorts of universities, including Stanford, UC Berkeley, Harvard, UCLA, USC, community colleges, and universities around the world, as well as industry and independent learning. An incorporated company, a cofounder, and revenue are not required. Review is individual; a university affiliation does not guarantee admission.
Check research ownership early
Before turning university work into a business, identify IP, software and dataset licenses, sponsor obligations, and the approvals that apply to you. Your university’s technology transfer office is the starting point for ownership questions.
Redko Labs is an independent incubator. It is not a university program and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or recruiting on behalf of any university or research group named here. Access to university facilities requires that institution’s approval.
Bring the question.
Build the evidence.
Apply on a rolling basis, with an idea, a company, or the ambition to find your starting point.
