​Event Description

​I’m exploring the idea of bringing together a small group of Yale alumni who are interested in innovation, startups, and emerging technologies to exchange ideas and perspectives.

​This first virtual gathering is intended to be informal and conversational. The goal is simply to connect alumni working across different areas of innovation and see whether there is interest in building a small community around these discussions.

​We hope to bring together alumni involved in areas such as:

​• startups and entrepreneurship
• venture capital and investing
• AI and emerging technologies
• biotech and life sciences
• technology commercialization
• innovation within larger organizations

​The session will be discussion-based rather than presentation-based, and participants will have an opportunity to briefly introduce themselves and share perspectives on current innovation trends.

​If there is interest, we may consider organizing future gatherings and potentially in-person discussions as well.

​Event Format

​Virtual Roundtable Discussion

​Approximate agenda:

​• Welcome and context
• Participant introductions
• Discussion on innovation and startup trends
• Open conversation about future directions for the group

​Duration: 60 minutes
