Spring is a season of momentum at Yale Ventures, and this one is especially full. 

We're proud to announce 22 new awards to Yale faculty innovators through the Blavatnik and Roberts Funds, two of five Yale Ventures Accelerators. Together, our five accelerators provide over $6 million each year to support early-stage, faculty-led inventions moving from lab to market. Meet the 2026 Blavatnik Fund recipients Meet the 2026 Roberts Fund recipients Spring is also Yale's peak season for innovation events — a series of opportunities to connect ideas with customers, investors, and collaborators. 

You won’t want to miss Startup Yale on April 10, the flagship event for student innovators and entrepreneurs, and the Yale Innovation Summit, May 27–28, the largest innovation-focused conference in the northeast. For a full list of upcoming events, check out our events calendar. 

We look forward to seeing you on campus soon.
