Get Involved

Join BASES

Thank you for your interest in BASES, the premier business and entrepreneurship student group of Silicon Valley. Since its creation in 1996, BASES has helped thousands of aspiring young entrepreneurs pursue and reach their goals, and we are looking for the best and brightest to join us on our mission.

We are generally less interested accepting someone to fill a particular position than in attracting extraordinarily capable individuals who are likely to make significant contributions to our efforts over the long term. 

We typically open applications for membership in the late spring and early fall of each school year. Please email the presidents with any questions!
