Yale Entrepreneurial Institute Fosters Student-Initiated Business Ventures

The Yale Entrepreneurial Institute (YEI) is hosting a new 10-week program designed to inspire, nurture and educate student entrepreneurs, and demonstrate that resources available locally match or better those in more celebrated hotbeds of entrepreneurship. “While Yale recently has excelled at translating biotechnology research from faculty members into businesses, students, particularly those interested in areas other than biotechnology, have literally “taken their business elsewhere” for apparent lack of resources,” said James Boyle of the Yale Office of Cooperative Research (OCR).
