Most Voice AI deployments fail for the same reasons: unclear logic, limited testing tools, unpredictable latency, and no systematic way to improve after launch.

The BELL Framework solves this with a repeatable lifecycle — Build, Evaluate, Launch, Learn — built for enterprise-grade call environments.

Yorkseed hosted another remarkable edition of Yorkseed NYC Capital Connection on October 22, 2025, in New York City, held simultaneously with our Paris satellite event. Both gatherings took place at exclusive speakeasy, uniting curated groups of founders, GPs/LPs, and family office members for an evening of capital, conversation, and connection. The night embodied Yorkseed’s mission, fostering authentic introductions, high signal dialogue, and meaningful deal flow. Thank you to everyone who joined and made this gathering another step in connecting global venture ecosystems.

👉 Yorkseed NYC Upcoming Events:

Kicking off before our NYC Capital Connection, Yorkseed hosted the Paris Venture Evening on October 22, 2025, as part of our same-day satellite events. Led by our Paris Hub Directors, Imène Ben Daoud and Giuseppe Graziano Knapp inside a hidden speakeasy bar, this invitation and approval only gathering brought together a curated group of founders, innovators, and ecosystem leaders for a night of capital, conversation, and connection. The atmosphere was intimate yet vibrant, filled with genuine dialogue, spontaneous introductions, and collaborations taking root — a perfect reflection of the Yorkseed spirit where trust and shared vision spark global connections.

We’re coming back to Lisbon in full force for another year of the Yorkseed Passport Series. We’re currently planning a few exciting events for Web Summit week. If you’d like to get involved or collaborate, please reach out — we’d love to connect. 💫

💫 What is the Yorkseed Passport Series?

From NYC to Sydney to Paris, Yorkseed’s Passport Series brings founders and investors together at the moments that matter. Real connections. Trusted deal flow. High-signal community. Sponsorship isn’t just branding, it’s access: curated intros, global reach, and venture-grade rooms.
