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

RAISE Summit is where Europe's AI ecosystem comes together. Founders, investors, researchers, operators, and global tech leaders will be gathering in Paris for a week packed with conversations, product launches, and some of the best side events of the year.

We've started building the Yorkseed RAISE Summit Master Side Event List. Save the link now and check back later this week as we'll be adding more events, happy hours, dinners, founder meetups, investor gatherings, and community experiences as they're announced.

If you're attending RAISE Summit in Paris, join our dedicated Yorkseed Paris WhatsApp group to connect with other founders, investors, and operators before you arrive and throughout the week.

See you in Paris 🇫🇷✨

Yorkseed operates across 100+ cities and conference ecosystems worldwide.

Yorkseed is hosting a series of private, curated gatherings for founders and investors, while continuing to expand our platform where members actively connect, transact, and access high-signal opportunities.

This is a selective partnership opportunity across:
• Curated events globally
• Integration into the Yorkseed platform and The Vault
• Direct access to a highly vetted network of founders, investors, and operators

We partner with a small number of aligned companies per city, designed for those who want to be embedded in high-trust, high-signal environments.

Selected partners will be invited to schedule a private intro call.

Your finance close runs in #finance. Stripe and QuickBooks reconciled, runway updated, posted Sunday night without you asking.

Engineering review lands in #eng. Viktor pulled the open PRs, left comments on auth-refactor, flagged a dependency blocking api-pagination.

Campaign brief lands in #growth: Meta CPA up 18%, recommendation to pause broad match, a draft landing page already deployed for the variant test.

You hired him on day zero. He lives in Slack and Microsoft Teams alongside your contractors and investors, connects to 3,000+ tools, pushes back when you ship something dumb.

"Viktor is now an integral team member, and after weeks of use we still feel we haven't uncovered the full potential." Patrick, Director, Yarra Web.
