The Yale Entrepreneurial Society (YES) is a student-run nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to encouraging entrepreneurship and business development in the New Haven, Connecticut area. YES was founded in 1999 by Yale undergraduates Sean Glass and Miles Lasater. Its social entrepreneurship program—focused on not-for-profit and socially responsible organizations—was founded the same year, with efforts led by fellow student David Pozen. Today, YES members include Yale undergraduate, graduate, professional students, and faculty, as well as several hundred Yale alumni around the world. The Yale Entrepreneurial Society's mission is the following: # Create and foster a community of entrepreneurs at Yale; promote the belief that entrepreneurial principles can be applied to any endeavor # Offer resources helpful to students at any level of engagement with entrepreneurship # Offer educational and networking opportunities to foster new venture creation; teach the lean startup model # Organize campus and regional events to encourage innovation at Yale # Publish information concerning new, events and opportunities through the magazine == Yale Venture Challenge == The Yale Venture Challenge was previously known as Y50K. It is held annually in April, and awards up to $25,000 in grants to student entrepreneurs. The competition involves a 10 minute pitch and a 5 minute Q&A in front of a panel of judges. The Y50K was YES's annual business plan competition. The competition ran annually after its inception in 2000. Each year, a total of $50,000 in grants were given away to new businesses in the Yale community. In 2004, a biotechnology category was added to the usual two categories of competition, social entrepreneurship and for-profit. The Y50K also had a strategic alliance with StudentBusinesses.com that allows the competition to be conducted completely online. In the early 2010s Y50K was changed to YVC, open only to students at Yale University. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yale Entrepreneurial Society」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
