yes 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), and a dozen other future founders you don’t know the names of yet.

how it works

  1. Get an invite

    Get an invite from an existing member or request an invite.

  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.

our mission: to inspire, connect, and support the next generation of bulldog builders.

At our core, we’re building the strongest community of Yalie entrepreneurs. Building in community > building alone.

Entrepreneurship is about learning fast and iterating quickly, so we're giving Yalies a community to shorten learning curves, share different perspectives, and pay it forward.

What you’ll get:

  • access to a community of like-minded Yalies

  • weekly co-working sessions (with food!)

  • weekly incubator dinners at a special Fellows’ Lounge

  • access to YES’s growing resource library on building products from scratch

  • exclusive hackathons, retreats, & build sessions

WHo you are:

  • Insanely driven.

  • Enjoy doing hard things.

  • A learner, not a knower.
