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

🤝 Partner with Yorkseed

We are opening a limited number of partners across New York Tech Week and VivaTech Paris.

Yorkseed is hosting a series of private, curated gatherings for founders and investors, alongside expanding our platform where members actively connect, transact, and discover resources.

This is a selective partnership opportunity across:
• Events in New York, Paris and global
• The Yorkseed platform and The Vault
• Direct access to founders, investors, and operators

We partner with a small number of aligned companies per city.

Apply here: https://tally.so/r/ODJeYk

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

As the ecosystem moves beyond SXSW, Yorkseed continues across global cities — where founders, investors, and operators reconnect, follow up, and build what comes next.

Yorkseed Global & Conference Hubs

Our WhatsApp Global Hubs share curated, high-signal events within each city — focused on founders, investors, and tech executives.

Our Conference Hubs are built around major global events, where members exchange invites, coordinate meetups, and access curated side events. We also share master lists of high-quality events, including those without badge requirements.

We are also expanding our local presence and selectively opening up a few city hubs for new organizers. The perks of being a local hub volunteer? You are exposed to high-level individuals, and infinite opportunities will come your way!
