We help your child build the entire profile and portfolio: a published paper, a filed patent, a real company, and a competition record, over four to nine months, told as one story. Eight families a year, chosen by interview, with the founder personally involved in every one.

THE ENTIRE PROFILE
Everything a top 1% application contains. Most applicants have one of these. We help your child build all five.
A 4.0 describes fifty thousand applicants. This describes one.
01
Published paper
Original research in peer-reviewed venues such as Springer and IEEE, first author. The same standard as the Fellowship, folded into a larger arc.
02
Filed patent
Your child’s name listed as inventor on a real patent application, drawn from their own research.
03
Launched venture
A real company with revenue, or a registered nonprofit with real impact, grown through our network of operators and advisors.
04
Competition record
ISEF and Regeneron preparation, so the same work also wins at science fairs.
05
One story that adds up
The paper, the patent, the venture and the awards, all pointing the same direction. An admissions officer reads it as one clear picture of who your child is, not four separate hobbies.

ONE STUDENT'S FILE
Not a testimonial. The actual letters, the actual paper, the actual record. This is the standard the program is built on.
Sadaf came to us with zero research experience. This is her file now.

Sadaf ShireenYRI FELLOW
“Having a real publication changed everything. Admissions officers could see I wasn’t just talking about research, I had actually done it. The IEEE paper was the centerpiece of every application I submitted.”
WHAT WAS IN THE FILE
01First-author paper accepted at an IEEE conference: "Neural Network Optimization for Real-Time Classification Systems"
02Admitted to Brown University, Johns Hopkins and UT Austin
03Founded a nonprofit built on her own research
04Recommendation letter from the PhD mentor who worked beside her
In peer-reviewed venues including IEEE, Springer, and Elsevier.
ISEF
AND REGENERON
Fellows have qualified for the largest pre-college science competitions in the world.
1:1
WEEKLY, ALL YEAR
Every pillar is built with a working researcher, not a curriculum.

THE OTHER WAY TO DO THIS
What families end up paying when they put this together themselves, one piece at a time.
Doing this yourself means hiring five different people
PIECETYPICAL MARKET RATE
A research program that gets them published$8,000 – $25,000
A patent attorney to file the application$2,000 – $5,000
Setting up the company or nonprofit, and advice on running it$3,000 – $10,000
Science fair and competition coaching$1,500 – $5,000
A private college counselor$10,000 – $40,000
All of it, with us$9,997
Those are normal prices for each piece on its own. They also do not count the part nobody warns you about: you become the project manager, chasing five people who have never spoken to each other and none of whom is responsible for the result.

THE FIT
Eight places a year means we turn away most families who apply. Read this honestly before you spend the ten minutes.
We say no to most families who apply
WE TAKE
Families targeting the most selective schools in the world, and honest about it
Students in grades 8 through 11, early enough for the work to add up
Students with real curiosity, whether or not it has found a direction yet
Parents who want one team responsible for the result, not five separate people
Families who can commit five to ten hours a week for four to nine months
WE TURN AWAY
Families looking for essay editing in the autumn of senior year
Students unwilling to put real hours into real work
Anyone shopping for a guarantee rather than a record
Families who want a place bought rather than decided by interview
[05]
HOW TO APPLY
Four steps. The first takes ten minutes and costs nothing.
Applying takes ten minutes. We answer in two days.
01
Submit the application10 MINUTES
About ten minutes. We ask about your child, what they are curious about, and where they intend to apply. No essays, no transcripts, no fee.
02
We reply within 48 hoursWITHIN 48 HOURS
Every application is read by a person, not filtered by a form. If the fit is wrong we say so quickly and tell you why, so you are never left waiting.
03
A call with the founder45 MINUTES
Forty-five minutes, no sales script. We are deciding whether we can do our best work for your child, and you are deciding whether you believe us.
04
A decision, then the build4 TO 9 MONTHS
If we both say yes, the four to nine months begin: the research, the patent filing, the company and the competition preparation, planned around your child.
NO FEE TO APPLY · NO ESSAYS · NO TRANSCRIPTS APPLYING DOES NOT COMMIT YOU TO ANYTHING

WHO RUNS YRI
Backed by a full-time team of PhD mentors, research writers, and journal submission specialists.
Ishan Jain
FOUNDER
Regeneron ISEF qualifier. Published in JAMA Cardiology. Conrad Challenge Top 5 worldwide. Author of ten peer-reviewed papers, presented at IEEE, ACM, and Stanford.
Phillip Moheno, PhD
SENIOR RESEARCH ADVISOR
Former President and Chief Scientist of SanRx Pharmaceuticals, and named inventor on US Patent 12,569,492. He sets the research standard at YRI and the bar every mentor on the network is held to.
[07]
TUITION
One price for everything: the research, the patent, the company, and the competitions.
Less than one year of private school
Families who build this themselves usually spend $30,000 or more: a research program here, a patent attorney there, a counselor on retainer for four years. This is the same outcome, run by one team, for one price.
Places are not sold. Admission is decided by application and interview, and we close the year at eight families no matter how many apply.
Tuition
BY APPLICATION ONLY
$9,997
Or 3 payments of $3,333 · full tuition $19,997
Eight places a year, reviewed individually.
Admission decided by application and interview, not by payment.
Answered plainly, including the ones with an uncomfortable answer.
Because the founder is in every one of these profiles personally, and the work runs four to nine months. Past eight, the attention that makes the program work stops being possible. We close the year at eight regardless of how many families apply.
CONSIDERATION
Eight places. Reviewed individually.
Somewhere in a December admissions room, a reader opens your child’s file: a published paper, a patent with their name on it, a company they actually run. That file gets discussed. If the fit is not right, we will say so and point you to the Fellowship instead. If it is, the next nine months build the file.
