Competitions
YES is known nationally for its high caliber business plan competitions, which draw innovative competitors from across the country. Judges are industry leaders and respected professionals. YES regularly organizes several different types of these:
Existing business or just a thought, pitch it here and receive qualified feedback and prizes.
High School Competition
High school students everywhere compete in a business plan judged by businesspeople and Yale
professors.
YES’s flagship business plan competition contains a year-long program of speakers, seminars, and
many opportunities for qualified feedback and support. The YVC culminates in the YES Innovation Summit where top competitors
pitch for cash and in-kind prizes.
