Innovators
We build startups every quarter through our Founder's Education program—UCI's student-run startup incubator. Learn ideation, validation, and pitching while launching real products. Innovation is at the core of our mission as we work towards launching UCI's next unicorn.
Creators
UCI student founders in SEP have raised over $1M+ in VC funding, accelerator programs, and pitch competitions. From AI tools to consumer apps, our members build startups that solve real problems and create lasting impact in the Irvine startup ecosystem.
Community
At the core of Sigma Eta Pi is a tight-knit community of UCI entrepreneurs. We build startups together, go on retreats, and push each other to new heights. Open to all majors—CS, business, design, engineering, and more. It's the people that make SEP special.
Every startup at inception was a solution to a problem. But what comes after that?
We started Sigma Eta Pi 3 years ago with a singular goal of uniting the entrepreneurial of UC Irvine under one roof. We believed that innovation was a product of deep collaboration and a tight-knit community. We didn't want to just nurture individual creativity — we wanted to unite thinkers, doers, and creators to push each other beyond their own boundaries. And in that process, create something that left a lasting impact, not only on themselves, but on the world around them.
Sigma Eta Pi is the place that people come to when they want to build with the brightest and most innovative minds at UCI. Our mission, as it has always been, is to empower students to pursue their entrepreneurial dreams. Maybe you're the next one…
