Unicorn Summit North America 2026 takes place on October 17–18, 2026.

Unicorn Summit North America 2026 is held at the University of California, Berkeley, in Berkeley, California, USA.

The organizer identifies startup founders, investors, and innovators as attendees.

It suits early-stage founders looking for investor contact and product-minded entrepreneurs, since the speakers include the founders of Viome and Bespoke Innovations, an Innovator in Residence at the Jacobs Institute for Design Innovation, and angel investor David S. Rose. Buyers or specialists wanting deep technical sessions would get less from a two-day program built around keynotes, panels and networking.

Founders and investors at startup gatherings on a university campus usually dress smart casual, such as chinos or dark jeans with a clean shirt or light jacket, and sturdy walking shoes help between venues. Mid-October in Berkeley can be cool in the evening, so a layer is sensible for the nightly events.
