A bit of history
UC Irvine opened in 1965 as the intellectual anchor of a master-planned city built by the Irvine Company, and its research park became the seed for what's now called the Tech Coast. Three UCLA graduates started Silicon & Synapse out of a business park near campus in February 1991, working with about $10,000 each; it later became Blizzard Entertainment. Irvine's tech and biotech base has kept growing from there, anchored today by companies like Broadcom.
