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

What a week.

During Climate Week NYC × the United Nations General Assembly, Yorkseed hosted and co-hosted gatherings across New York and Paris, bringing together founders, investors, family offices, capital allocators, policymakers, diplomats, researchers, technology leaders, and creatives.

In New York, our programming included the Yorkseed Climate Week Gathering, Nature, Trade and Human Health: Preventing the Next Global Crisis, the Valois Allocator Breakfast Roundtable, The AI Economy: Infrastructure, Payments, Venture Capital & Digital Assets, and The Living Planet: Wildlife, Technology & Climate Resilience.

For Nature, Trade and Human Health, we welcomed Rebecca Regnery, MSB, Dr. Jon Epstein, Founder of One Health Science, Dr. Raina Plowright of Cornell University, and Harrison Carter of the University of Oxford’s WildCRU. Rebecca also returned later in the week for a solo featured conversation for The Living Planet.

We also marked a major milestone for Valois by Yorkseed with our first-ever New York allocator gathering, following its launch in Paris during RAISE Summit.

We were especially honored to welcome Vladimir Božović, PhD, Consul General of the Republic of Serbia in New York, as well as a representative of the Brazilian government, to our community.

We are also grateful to House of 434, Encubay, Global Passion Projects, and QAIX for their collaboration.

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

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.

The week continued in Paris on September 26, where Yorkseed and Artmia Paris co-hosted a fashion-tech program followed by La Nuit des Roses. Featured speakers included Nicole A. Reznic, Founder & CEO of Mark3t.ai, and Tulasi Parmar, Founder & Creative Director of TULASI.

From climate and health to capital, AI, policy, fashion, and culture, thank you to every speaker, partner, co-host, and guest who made the week such a success.

New York to Paris, thank you for an unforgettable week.

We currently have three Yorkseed Master Side Event spreadsheets covering:

If you’re hosting an event during any of these weeks and would like Yorkseed to come on as a co-host or community partner, email us.

Partner events will be featured across the relevant Yorkseed Master Side Event List and shared with our community.

We’re also continuing to add new events, so if you know of one we should include, send it our way.

And please share the spreadsheets with anyone heading to SF, LA, or Singapore.
