Startup Yale 2026: Purpose-Driven Ideas, Community-Powered Wins

Many congratulations to all who participated and pitched at this year’s Startup Yale. Winning is exciting, but the real impact comes from doing the work and pushing ideas forward.

To our Planetary Solutions Prize participants: keep going. The work you’re doing to tackle some of our planet’s most pressing challenges truly matters. And cheers to Oilzyme, founded by Jenelle Lee (BS '22/MEM '26), and Apical, founded by Shivansh Chaturvedi (SOM/MEM '26). We can't wait to see where you go from here!
