A home for hard-tech innovators

Cyclotron Road, a Lab-Embedded Entrepreneurial Program (LEEP) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, supports leading entrepreneurial scientists as they advance technology projects with the potential for global impact. The program manages a fellowship that supports entrepreneurial scientists and engineers as they develop globally impactful and commercially viable technology products. Since 2015, in partnership with the non-profit Activate, fellows have collaborated with more than 70 Berkeley Lab scientists, and the organizations they’ve founded have raised more than $1.1 billion in follow-on funding, hired over 1000 employees, and introduced new products across industries.
