About Us

The Yale School of Management’s Private Equity & Venture Capital Club is committed to equipping students with exceptional resources, insights, and opportunities. Through robust coaching, hands-on experiences, and meaningful career connections, we empower aspiring investors and innovators to thrive in dynamic industries.

Our Annual Symposium is our hallmark event, uniting leading institutions and industry professionals across the private capital ecosystem with a talented cohort of students from Yale and other top-tier programs. Together, we foster engaging discussions, share valuable insights, and cultivate lasting relationships. This year marks our 23rd iteration of the event.

Starting in 2024, we elevated the conference by hosting it in New York City — placing it at the heart of the world’s premier financial center and welcoming an increasingly diverse and accomplished audience. We look forward to continuing this tradition and building an even stronger community in the years ahead.
