Fondato Not documented 2012 (The current YEC About page states the council was founded in 2012. Earlier material and press describe the organisation launching around 2010-2011 under founder Scott Gerber; yec.co itself first appears in the Internet Archive in November 2013.)
Sede centrale Boston, United States United States
Geographic footprint Nine online councils with no local chapters; the operator, Community.co, is based in Boston, Massachusetts Online community with member-hosted dinners and in-person gatherings; no chapters
Membri Not publicly disclosed. Forbes Councils publishes member directories per council but no total.

Primary audience Owners, founders, partners and senior executives who want a bylined publishing platform on Forbes.com alongside a vetted online peer network Founders, co-founders, CEOs and operators building a company now, screened for fit and contribution rather than a published financial threshold
Socio tipico Members are owners, founders, C-level executives, partners and vice presidents who lead a region or division, drawn from the industry each council covers. The financial test is set at the company level rather than personal wealth: US$500,000 or US$1,000,000 in annual revenue or capital raised, depending on the council. Founders, co-founders, CEOs and builders currently running a business. The FAQ states "Young is the mind, not the age", so the historical under-45 rule is no longer presented as a test. YEC does not publish revenue, funding or exit thresholds on its current site.

Application process Candidates apply online to a specific council. A selection committee reviews the application against the published criteria and, if approved, issues a membership invitation. Payment is taken after acceptance, for a one-year or two-year term. Applications are made in an individual's own name, not a company's, even where an employer pays the fee. A short form starts the process, followed by email confirmation and then the full application. YEC states that a person reads every application and that applicants hear back either way. Shortlisted candidates complete an interview, which YEC frames as a two-way assessment of fit. Applicants may indicate that a member referred them.
Selectivity Not publicly disclosed. Forbes Councils states that applications are vetted by a selection committee and that acceptance is at the company's sole discretion, but publishes no acceptance rate. Not publicly disclosed. YEC states applications are reviewed against "the same bar the members built" but publishes no acceptance rate.
