Yale Entrepreneurial Society (YES) is an undergraduate-run, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that has been making waves since its establishment in 1999. Its mission is to foster entrepreneurship within the Yale community and support student innovation. YES offers a wide range of programs and services to nurture the next generation of entrepreneurs.

Their flagship programs include the Incubator, a peer-supported platform that equips Yalies with the necessary tools to kickstart and scale their ventures. For those interested in venture capital, YES provides a 4-month fellowship where participants learn from industry experts and gain hands-on experience and mentorship from reputable firms. YES also offers a unique pre-orientation experience called LAUNCH, designed to help incoming students develop essential skills for successful entrepreneurship.

Their Podcast features in-depth interviews with Yale alumni founders, CEOs, and innovators who share their insights and experiences. Additionally, YES offers internships with over 150+ affiliated start-ups, providing invaluable learning opportunities. Beyond their exceptional programs, YES is a close-knit community spanning across colleges, grad schools, and alumni founders.

They value experimentation, introspection, and foster a shared interest in innovation and impact. Donations from generous supporters, such as the Tsai Center for Innovative Thinking at Yale, help bring YES's vision to life. Join YES and embark on an exciting journey of entrepreneurship, collaboration, and friendship
