ANTrepreneur Center

The UC Irvine ANTrepreneur Center is where students gain the skills, knowledge, and experience to jumpstart their entrepreneurial journeys and professional careers. We are proud to serve all students on campus, including those that are traditionally underrepresented as entrepreneurs, executives, and business owners. 



Your gift today will directly support startup funding, resources to increase access to our programming, and targeted outreach entrepreneurs on campus.

*Every $500 raised supports five more students as they explore entrepreneurship. 

*Every $1,000 raised funds a student startup. 

*Every $5,000 raised provides an entrepreneurship scholarship to a student.



If you are unable to support financially, we welcome you to engage in other ways such as:

  • Spreading the word about Giving Day to your friends and your community. 
  • Exploring and sharing entrepreneurial success stories from our students, alumni, and supporters.
  • Mentoring current students at the ANTrepreneur Center and joining our Corporate Circle. 
  • Engaging with our social media content by following our accounts, joining our groups, and commenting on/liking/sharing posts that resonate with you.


Your generous support fuels the spirit of our student entrepreneurs at UC Irvine, enabling them to realize their academic and business aspirations. We deeply appreciate your commitment to shaping the future of our ANTrepreneurs, so please consider donating today!
