Application Fest

Application Fest gives you a direct line to the leaders behind Yale’s biggest student innovation opportunities, along with the insight you need to apply confidently.

This info session brings together program leads, advisors, and selection team members from Startup Yale, the Tsai CITY Accelerator, Summer Fellowship, Launch Pad, Joiners, the IHY Accelerator, and the Rothberg Catalyzer Build Fund.

You’ll hear what each program values in applicants, what makes a proposal stand out, and how to avoid common mistakes. No matter how many programs you’re considering, you’ll leave with clear, actionable guidance tailored to each opportunity.

Get your questions answered, refine your ideas, and sharpen your strategy—before the applications open.
