Chancellor Lyons on UC Berkeley's 'Startup Campus' story

Something extraordinary has been built at UC Berkeley. A new book chronicles how Berkeley became the #1 university worldwide for venture-funded startups founded by undergraduate alumni – while advancing its public mission and research excellence.

"Startup Campus: How UC Berkeley Became an Unexpected Leader in Entrepreneurship and Startups" tells this story through the voices of nearly 100 faculty, staff and alumni who made it happen.

From CRISPR gene editing breakthroughs to climate-tech innovations, the book reveals how Berkeley created a new model where scholars and entrepreneurs collaborate to scale societal impact. As Chancellor Lyons shares in the video above, this isn't just Berkeley's story – it's a blueprint for how higher education can lead innovation while strengthening public trust in what universities do.
