YPitch

At Yale Capital Partners, we work to connect Yale students with the venture and startup ecosystem. Our programs give students hands‑on exposure to building companies and investing, while helping founders find early support and investors discover new ideas. Through initiatives like venture sourcing and the Pitchbook directory , we aim to make Yale a stronger hub for entrepreneurship.


YPitch is our annual Demo Day. A select group of Yale founders present their startups to a panel of venture capital and investor judges in front of students and investors. Together, these efforts create a space where students can explore startups and turn ideas into real companies.
