345 female founders. $10.2 billion raised.

For three years in a row, UC Berkeley has been the top university for female entrepreneurs among undergrad alumni, according to PitchBook.

Meet four founders across the UC Berkeley Innovation & Entrepreneurship ecosystem who saw solutions to  problems they just couldn’t ignore:

💙 Your devices could save your life. Ashmita Kumar (BS EECS, ‘25) created code:blue, an AI tool that detects early stroke signs and alerts emergency services. 

♻️ Takeout without the trash. Dispatch Goods founder Lindsey Hoell (MBA ‘21) built a turnkey service that collects, washes and restocks reusable containers for food service operators. 

🎓 Navigating college admissions without the guesswork. Empowerly cofounder Hanmei Wu (BA ’14) launched a personalized tech platform to help students get into their dream schools.

Four companies. Four very different problems.

Behind every single one is a Berkeley founder who saw something the world needed.

Here's to Ashmita, Lindsey, Hanmei — and all the fearless founders bringing brilliant ideas to life at Berkeley.
