startup incubator

the premier community for yalies to learn by doing.

Rather than a formal curriculum, being a part of the YES incubator means connecting with like-minded peers who are just as ambitious about building the future as you.

Our community’s been home to the founders of Prepared (backed by First Round), Craniometrix (backed by YCombinator), an American Ninja Warrior, and a dozen other future founders you don’t know yet.

how it works

1. Get an invite

   Earn an invite from an existing member.

2. Meet with a few members of the community for an informal interview.

   We add a barrier of entry to joining the community, to keep the quality of conversation, connection, and exchange of ideas high.

3. Get access to YES Incubator, for life.

   We’re building Yale’s version of a talent vortex.
