Yorkseed Luma
NYC Founder Week

On September 17, Yorkseed is heading to Cambridge for Yorkseed Frontier Day, bringing together founders, investors, researchers and industry leaders across Physical AI, robotics, Deep Tech, Digital AI and capital.

We’re excited to host Frontier Day at The Engine, created by MIT in 2016 and now a nonprofit incubator and accelerator supporting Tough Tech companies working to commercialize breakthrough science and engineering. Its ecosystem spans robotics, autonomous systems, AI, quantum, advanced manufacturing, biotech, climate and other frontier technologies, making it a natural home for Frontier Day.

We’re expecting a highly curated group of investors, founders, industry leaders and VIP guests, with company showcases, live demonstrations, curated founder and investor conversations, and opportunities to meet some of the people building and backing the next generation of technology.

📍 September 17 | The Engine, Cambridge

Boston is just the beginning for Yorkseed Frontier.

Yorkseed x Artmia Paris bring Fashion Tech and venture together for one night: a day of innovation talks and brunch, followed by a couture fashion show and a masquerade ball at Hôtel de l'Industrie. Tango, waltz, NOIRÉ (London), and the "La Plus Belle des Roses" contest, capped with champagne past midnight.
