UCLA Alumni Association

NYC Bruins took over the city for an unforgettable night of networking at the stunning HQ of a Bruin-founded startup, complete with jaw-dropping skyline views! Founders, investors, and startup enthusiasts mixed and mingled, swapping stories, sparking ideas, and seizing new opportunities—all with the iconic Brooklyn Bridge lighting up the scene. It was a night full of energy, big ideas, and Bruin pride, bringing a bit of West Coast spirit to the heart of NYC! What city should host our next networking mixer in?
