The Young Entrepreneurship Council is an invitation-only community for entrepreneurs under 40. Notable members include those on the founding teams of Dyn, HootSuite, Threadless, the Muse and more.

YEC community members need to have sustainable, high growth businesses and give back to the community through volunteering, donating.
