The House also provides a workspace for aspiring entrepreneurs to collaborate and innovate together. Similar to The House, Skydeck is UC Berkeley's primary startup accelerator. Skydeck was founded on a partnership between the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research, the College of Engineering and the Haas School of Business, with the goal of bringing students from multidisciplinary backgrounds transform their discoveries into startup ventures. 

== <span style=Faculty innovation and entrepreneurship is seen both inside and outside the classroom. The faculty in the College of Letters & Science (L&S) collaborated with the Berkeley-Haas Entrepreneurship Program to guide students to turn their ideas into scaleable ventures.

For example, Berkeley launched RISElab (I&EReal-time Intelligence with Secure Execution) in higher education, sponsored by IBM, Intel, GE Digital, and more, to bring together faculty and students to explore and innovate Big Data analytics. Students have The Berkeley Institute for Data Science (BIDS) fosters collaboration between the options computer science, statistics and applied math departments between faculty and students to pursue I&E classes through lead the Saturdja Center, or develop their own ventures with data science revolution.

These daysCalifornia, universities are increasingly focusing on innovation and entrepreneurship as key contributors to the growth and success of local communities. Universities are requesting the federal government to include commercialization and innovation-driven economic development in their grant programs. In addition, regional economic development planning now often starts with an assessment of a local university’s research strengths. In turn, universities are seeking partners to supplement their strengths and overcome their weaknesses through partnerships with community colleges, non-profit economic development agencies, governments, and entrepreneurship groups. Some universities, such as Tulane University, are asking their students and faculty to contribute to local community development through service and projects. Others, such as North Carolina State University, are building innovation-driven campuses that help surrounding cities and communities prosper.''Berkeley&nbsp;Student Priorities]
