A26 Ventures (A26) is first student-backed and operated early-stage fund founded by UCLA MBA students. Dedicated to investing in the startup ecosystem of Los Angeles, A26 writes $25k+ checks to support early-stage companies founded by UCLA-affiliated students, faculty, and alumni.

Founded by British designers and twin brothers Nick and Steve Tidball, Vollebak uses advanced material technology to tackle the fundamental challenges of the next century — space, climate change, human health, and sustainability. 2x winners at TIME Best Inventions, their designs include clothing ranges built for Mars and Titan as well as the apocalypse. We built the world’s first solar charged jacket, the first jacket from graphene, and the first computer programmable clothing — bringing us one step closer to an invisibility cloak.

Scope AR is the pioneer of enterprise-class augmented reality solutions, delivering the industry’s only cross-platform AR tools for empowering frontline workers with the knowledge they need, when they need it. The company revolutionized the way enterprises work and collaborate by offering a visual “knowledge base” solution that provides effective and efficient knowledge-sharing to conduct complex remote tasks, employee training, product and equipment assembly, maintenance and repair, field and customer support, and more. The WorkLink platform offers a complete, end-to-end augmented reality application suite that supports smartphones, tablets and wearables and can ingest any CAD model format. WorkLink makes it easy for leading organizations like Johnson & Johnson, Mitsubishi, Lockheed Martin, Honeywell and others to quickly scale use of AR to any remote technician. As the pioneer of utilizing AR for industry support and training, we are partners with technology leaders such as Microsoft, Google, Amazon, ServiceMax, Unity, NTT Data and more. The company was founded in 2011 and is based in San Francisco with offices in Tel Aviv, Israel and Edmonton, Canada.
