What a busy and inspiring week in NYC with the United Nations General Assembly and Climate Tech Week! Despite the whirlwind of events, Yorkseed successfully hosted a Climate Tech Female Founders Seed Stage & Up VC Breakfast Roundtable at Polsinelli Law Firm on Wednesday morning. A huge thank you to our amazing co-hosts, How Women Invest and Anthesis Group as well as to Yorkseed event partner, Polsinelli, for helping us make this important gathering happen.

There’s plenty of capital out there, but not nearly enough is being directed toward women founders. Female entrepreneurs are still facing significant barriers to access funding and lack a strong support system in the ecosystem. We are proud to be part of the movement to change this and support women founders in Climate Tech and beyond. Together, we’re working toward a more inclusive and equitable future.

To cap off an incredible week, Yorkseed hosted another successful mixer with Founder Institute on Thursday eveningt. Thank you to the hundreds who came out—we’re building real momentum, and we won’t let it stop here! Looking forward to the next one!

Join us next week in Paris for our Paris Tech Ecosystem Mixer: Founders and Investors Night Out! After a busy summer, we're excited to welcome everyone back from their break for an evening of networking and new connections. Our mission is to build a vibrant, inclusive tech and venture community in Paris, just as we've done in New York City! Feel free to spread the word and join us for an unforgettable night.

Message from the Yorkseed House ...

Our WhatsApp Global hubs are where I will be strictly sharing special events that are happening around the local city related to Founders + Investors + Tech Executives focus only.

Our WhatsApp Conference Groups are for conferences goers to share invites, arrange meetups and set meetings specifically for Founders + Investors + Tech Executives focus only. We also provide a spreadsheet of non-badge holder master side event list for all conference goers! We believe everyone should have access to all the top notch side events without paying a premium price!

Looking for volunteers to run some of these hubs. Global Hub, Paris, New York City, Austin, Miami, D.C., Los Angeles, Bay Area, Hong Kong, Singapore, Lisbon, Sydney, Munich, Berlin, Helsinki, London, Rio, Buenos Aires, Toronto, Montreal, Dubai, Global Hub (International). Some people already interested in some of them, though I do need more! If you are from a city that is not on the list and are interested in creating a local hub, please reach out to me!

What does a local hub volunteer / co-organizer do?

• Run a Yorkseed^TM event once a month. It must be Founders + Investors + Tech Executives focus. I am open to all sort of events from happy hours to panels, or even demo nights. To make it easier, it can be a co-branded event with another company.

• Collect mailing list, Yorkseed^TM database building from all the attendees. Partnership, investor or collaboration opportunities for YS.

• Feed me any local events you know will be coming up in the local city, and I will include them the newsletter.

The perks of being a local hub volunteer? You are exposed to high-level individuals, and infinite opportunities will come your way!

Sounds exciting for you? Write me at  [email protected] / Jessica Sophia Wong
