🚀 Greetings Yorkseeder! Today’s Hello is in Dutch : Hallo

👉 Explore the network and find your global city and conference hubs https://yorkseed.co

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

Here’s what’s on the Yorkseed radar this week.

New York is about to get very busy. (We are still seeking sponsors and partners!)

With Climate Week NYC and the United Nations General Assembly bringing founders, investors, policymakers, corporates, nonprofits, climate leaders, and global delegations into the city, there are hundreds of conversations happening beyond the official programs.

So, in true Yorkseed fashion, we built a NYC Climate Week × UNGA Master Side Event Spreadsheet to help you navigate the week.

We’re tracking events across climate tech, investment, policy, sustainability, global affairs, startups, corporate innovation, dinners, receptions, happy hours, and more.

And yes, we’re tracking the important things too: dates, times, locations, registration links, event types, and even where you might find free food and drinks. 👀

Hosting something? Add your event through the submission tab. The spreadsheet is community-powered and continuously updated, so bookmark it and keep checking back.

We’re not just tracking the week. Yorkseed is hosting throughout it.

See you around New York. 🌱🗽

Yorkseed Luma

A special thank you to Resident and XDC Network for generously hosting Yorkseed during Climate Week NYC and the United Nations General Assembly.

Their support has made it possible for us to bring together leaders across investment, innovation, policy, health, and climate for meaningful conversations in an intimate setting.

Resident Company Club: A curated workspace for startups, founders, and VCs, designed to foster meaningful connections and collaboration. Coworking promised community, but delivered strangers sharing Wi-Fi. Resident is a company club, where every member is intentionally selected for cultural fit and collective ambition. They are opening their third location in Chelsea.

​XDC Network is an institutional-grade Layer 1 blockchain powering the next generation of trade finance, payments, and tokenized real-world assets. Its enterprise-focused infrastructure enables secure, scalable applications across global financial markets. The XDC Tech U.S. office is located in New York City, serving as a hub for blockchain, AI, tokenization, and institutional payment infrastructure.

On September 26, Yorkseed heads to Paris for a full day where fashion, technology, luxury, and culture collide, followed by La Nuit des Roses, an evening of couture, dance, and a traditional masked ball.

Nicole A. Reznic, Founder & CEO of Mark3t.ai, will explore “AI Can Create Almost Anything. Who Will Verify Everything?”, examining trust, authentication, digital identity, and provenance in fashion’s emerging AI economy.

Tulasi Parmar, Founder & Creative Director of TULASI, will present “The Death of Fast Fashion and the Birth of Digital Couture,” exploring digital twins, virtual garments, sustainability, and the future of fashion.
