🎉 Batch 21 has officially come to a close — and we couldn't be more proud of what this cohort has built. Over the past six months, we have had the privilege of working alongside an extraordinary group of founders from 13 countries, all united by one thing: the drive to solve hard problems that matter. From agentic AI platforms replacing broken B2B workflows, to probability-native chips reimagining the compute stack, to precision health breakthroughs in stroke detection and mRNA medicine — this batch tackled the frontier with ambition and grit. At Demo Day, 1,000+ investors, founders, and industry leaders gathered at UC Berkeley to witness it firsthand. Each founder had 4 minutes to show the world what months of relentless work had produced. They delivered. 💙 To the Batch 21 founders: thank you for trusting us to be part of your journey. You joined one of the most powerful networks in the world. What you build next will matter. And to our advisors, sponsors, investors, and the broader Berkeley community — your support is what makes SkyDeck more than an accelerator. It's what makes it a home. The journey for these startups is just beginning. We can't wait to watch what comes next. 👉Investors - meet the startups: https://lnkd.in/gtcyePGZ 👉Read more in San Francisco Business Times: https://bizj.us/1qppru #BerkeleySkyDeck #Batch21 #DemoDay #UCBerkeley #Startups #Founders #VentureCapital #DeepTech #AgenticAI #LifeScience #Innovation #StartupEcosystem #GoBears Caroline Winnett, Chon Tang, Sibyl Chen, Brian Bordley
