Cyclotron Road

Cyclotron Road supports leading entrepreneurial scientists as they advance technology projects with the potential for global impact. Since 2015, we have awarded more than $15 million to 41 fellows who have gone on to generate more than $80 million in funding to support their projects. Every year, they recruit a Cohort of entrepreneurial scientists and engineers from around the world to join Cyclotron Road as fellows. For two years, these innovators are embedded in the Berkeley research ecosystem, where they provide them funding, access to Berkeley Lab and UC Berkeley, and a program of intensive mentorship, professional development, and networking.  Their goal is simple: empower our fellows to mature their ideas from concept to first product, positioning them to align with the most suitable commercial path to bring their technology to scale.
