From Paris to Milan, the energy across both gatherings reminded us why we do this.

Founders, investors, operators, and builders — including faces from Station F — came together for evenings that felt intentional, international, and genuinely high-signal. The best moments weren't planned: cross-border connections forming mid-conversation, founders meeting aligned investors, collaborations being discussed before the night was over.

In Milan, the Yorkseed Founder & Investor Aperitivo during AI Tech Week brought exactly the intimacy and quality we aim for. New people walked in as strangers and left as part of something.

This is what Yorkseed is built for — spaces where ambitious people connect beyond transactional networking and build relationships that actually matter.

Thank you to everyone who joined us. More cities, more rooms, more moments coming soon.

We're opening founding member access to Yorkseed Connect this week.

Yorkseed Connect matches founders to ranked investors aligned to their stage, sector, and geography — and investors to the most relevant deal flow for their thesis. Every member vetted. Every connection intentional.

Founding members receive permanent status and priority access. This offer closes with NY Tech Week.

What you get:

NY Tech Week discount codes:

NYTWMONTH — 25% off monthly for first 3 months NYTWANNUAL — 25% off annual membership

New York Tech Week 2026 — We're Live

Programming is finalized. 10 events across the week. If you've been thinking about getting involved as a sponsor, strategic partner, or community collaborator — this week is the time to move.

Across NYTW, Yorkseed is hosting a curated series of gatherings for founders, investors, operators, and ecosystem leaders who want real conversations, not just crowded rooms:

We're also finalizing VivaTech Paris programming and opening a limited number of strategic partnerships across NYTW, VivaTech, Yorkseed House, the platform, and future global activations — for aligned companies and communities that want to be embedded inside high-trust, high-signal environments.

If this is you, let's get on a call this week.

For NY Tech Week 2026, Yorkseed House is live at Belong NYC, SoHo — a curated home base for founders, investors, operators, and ecosystem leaders, all week long.

This isn't another event venue. It's an intentional space for the conversations, collaborations, and connections that actually matter — hosted in collaboration with BelongNYC, alongside an incredible lineup of ecosystem and community partners.

The week includes:

Whether you're fundraising, investing, hiring, or simply looking for the right people in the room — this is where to be. Space throughout the week will be curated and capacity controlled.

🗓 June 1–6 · NY Tech Week & Latino Tech Week 🔗 RSVP: yorkseedhouse.com/nytw2026

Next stop: SXSW Austin 2027.

One destination. Every event that matters.

Yorkseed is launching its dedicated NY Tech Week platform — a centralized, high-signal event directory covering the full May 27–June 8 window, built for founders, investors, and operators who want to navigate the week with intention.

The platform pulls from across the entire ecosystem: Luma, Partiful, Eventbrite, and Meetup alongside private, invite-only, institutional, and community-led gatherings — all in one place.

Yorkseed has been building master side event lists since 2023 across Davos, ETHDenver, VivaTech Paris, and Web Summit. They consistently become the most shared resource during the week because they solve a real problem: discovery, trust, and access. This year, that product gets a permanent home.

For event hosts and brands: Visibility during NY Tech Week is competitive. Yorkseed is opening a limited number of placements:

Bookmark it. Share it. Use it all week.
