The Skydeck Innovation Center, planned for the top floor of the tallest building in Berkeley, received a $50,000 grant from the Chancellor’s Community Partnership Fund this week. The Skydeck, a project of the Berkeley Startup Cluster (BSC), will be a 10,000 sq. ft. incubator for fledgling technology companies. The grant was the largest award in the $260,000 distributed by the university fund for the 2011-12 fiscal year.
“The grant will enable us to operationalize the innovation center,” said Michael Cohen, director of the university’s Innovation Ecosystem Development and chairperson of BSC. Cohen said the Skydeck should be open for startups by the end of September.
