Senior🎓
Top SchoolRachel Yee is a founder and operator with eight years of experience building mission-driven startups at the intersection of education, AI, and government services. Currently CEO of Audacity Apprenticeships and founder of Copernicus Labs, she designs apprenticeship and portfolio-career models to reimagine workforce mobility amid AI transformation. A former Chief of Staff and early operator at multiple VC-backed companies, she has led fund operations, seeded early-stage investments, and ran cross-functional HR, legal, and finance teams through fundraising and office launches. At Princeton she served as Student Body President, where she cut counseling wait times dramatically and reformed a 150-year-old academic calendar—early signals of her bias for systems-level change. She pairs sociological training from Princeton and Cambridge with hands-on product and operations chops, focusing on EdTech and venture-building rather than traditional engineering. Notably, she has operated as a fractional co-founder for an OpenAI-backed govtech startup, blending startup strategy with practical execution.
