🌍 THIS WEEK ON YORKSEED
We’re currently improving and upgrading our master side event list to make it easier to navigate, more curated, and more valuable for our community.
This week, with New York Fintech Week underway, we’ve made our master side event list available.
This list brings together the most relevant side events happening across the city, from founder meetups and investor panels to private salons and curated gatherings. Instead of searching across multiple platforms, everything is consolidated into one place so you can discover, plan, and attend the events that matter.

🧩 DEEPER IN THE NETWORK
We are opening a limited number of strategic partners for New York Tech Week and VivaTech.
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.
Across New York Tech Week, we are curating a focused set of experiences, including:
• Venture Salons for founders and investors
• Beauty Tech gathering
• Private Funders Dinner
• Cross-border capital raising and investing conversations
During VivaTech Paris, we are hosting a blockchain-focused event while also curating a series of additional gatherings across the week, including non-blockchain focused experiences.
This is a selective partnership opportunity across:
• Curated events in New York, Paris, and global ecosystems
• 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.
