In partnership with
SXSW wrapped — but the conversations don’t stop there.
The strongest outcomes don’t come from packed schedules or main stages, but from follow-ups, smaller rooms, and the relationships that continue building once the week ends.
This week across Yorkseed, we move from collision → connection.
🚀 Apa Khabar, Yorkseeders — today’s hello from Malaysia.
Here’s what’s on the Yorkseed radar this week.
🧠 FROM SXSW
Last week at SXSW, our founder spoke at the Born Global Asia x Austin Summit and joined a conversation with Christian Mahoney, President of the World Chamber of Commerce Texas.
What started in Austin three years ago as a simple, viral spreadsheet has since evolved into Yorkseed — a global venture network spanning 100+ city and conference hubs.
At Yorkseed, we focus on:
• bridging founders and investors across borders
• supporting companies from early stage through scale
• connecting capital — from angels to family offices — globally
One insight continues to shape how we build:
Most ecosystems still operate locally.
But opportunity, capital, and talent are increasingly global.
The best outcomes are rarely the loudest —
they happen through trusted networks, long-term relationships, and proximity to the right rooms.
That’s what we’re building.
We’re just getting started.
🌍 THIS WEEK ON YORKSEED
As the ecosystem moves beyond SXSW, Yorkseed continues across global cities — where founders, investors, and operators reconnect, follow up, and build what comes next.

As the network evolves, we are exploring selective co-investments and building toward a future Yorkseed Capital layer, alongside a flagship global convening.

☕ Yorkseed Passport Series — SXSW Austin
During SXSW we hosted several gatherings under the Yorkseed Passport Series, bringing together founders, investors, and operators across the city.
These events are designed to create smaller, more intentional spaces where real conversations can happen away from the noise of large conferences.
Thank you to everyone who joined us this week.
Close faster with confidence.
Manual tax processes drain your team's time and energy, leaving no time for analysis.
When you automate and centralize your tax data your team can access what they need, when they need it and confidently make decisions.
The best part? Your team gets time back to focus on strategic initiatives.
