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.

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.

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 always, we only share carefully curated events for founders and investors in this newsletter.

Yorkseed operates across 100+ cities and conference ecosystems worldwide.

No matter where you go — you’ll likely find another Yorkseeder in the room.

Yorkseed hosts curated gatherings, private investor salons, and conference activations across major innovation and financial capitals.

These environments create meaningful pathways — where founders engage capital and investors connect within trusted, relationship-driven networks.

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

Yorkseed Insider Investor Circle (in development)
A private, curated layer for active capital allocators accessing high-signal opportunities across the network.

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.

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.

• Yorkseed House @ SXSW 2027
Flagship SXSW gathering for a select group of founders, investors, and ecosystem leaders. Access and participation are opened selectively.

• Yorkseed Summit
A flagship venture gathering designed to bring together founders, investors, and emerging fund managers in a high-signal environment.

• Yorkseed Capital (future)
A syndicate layer focused on selective SPVs and curated deal-by-deal access.

A broader membership layer that will organize access, visibility, and collaboration for founders & investors across the global venture ecosystem.

As the ecosystem continues to grow, we are opening several opportunities across the platform.

Yorkseed Global & Conference Hubs

Our WhatsApp Global Hubs share curated, high-signal events within each city — focused on founders, investors, and tech executives.

Our Conference Hubs are built around major global events, where members exchange invites, coordinate meetups, and access curated side events. We also share master lists of high-quality events, including those without badge requirements.

We are also expanding our local presence and selectively opening up a few city hubs for new organizers. The perks of being a local hub volunteer? You are exposed to high-level individuals, and infinite opportunities will come your way!
