ABOUT THE REUNION

Yale Alumni Founders Reunion | May 27, 2026 

The Yale Alumni Founders Reunion is a new, invitation-only gathering for Yale founders—held during the Yale Innovation Summit in New Haven. Over two days, Yale's entrepreneurial community will reconnect across generations, celebrate the collective impact of Yale-founded ventures, and collaborate.

From a morning unconference to an evening reception marking the 25th anniversary of the Yale Entrepreneurial Society, the Reunion is designed to be the kind of experience that brings Yale builders back to campus. 

The Reunion is part of the Yale Innovation Summit, the Northeast's largest innovation gathering. Yale alumni registering for the full Summit receive 50% off when they register with their AYA email address. 

Alumni Founder Reunion attendance and its programming is by invitation. Summit registration is open to all.
