Earlier this month, Yale SOM sent nine finalists to Startup Yale 2026, the university’s biggest entrepreneurship competition, and brought home three prizes.
Startup Yale, held on April 10, is a collaboration between the Yale Center for Business and the Environment, the Tsai Center for Innovative Thinking at Yale, and Yale Ventures. The annual event included venture pitches, mentorship conversations, and workshops with successful entrepreneurs.
“It represents how much Yale supports entrepreneurship and how this ecosystem is created to propel founders forward,” said Sophia Yang ’27, who pitched her cybersecurity platform PARTEE during the event.
