A year ago, I never imagined starting Yorkseed. It all began during a boring three-hour train ride with just an Excel sheet for company. This summer, I am excited to host our first Venture Summit in both New York City and Toronto with StartupFuel. If you'd like to get involved, sponsor us, spread the words, and support us on our early journey! And take advantage of the Early Bird discounts! ❤️
While I'm still finalizing the Venture Summit NYC program for June 4th, but we have confirmed speakers from Polsinelli Law Firm, NVNG Investment Advisors, OmniValley, Papa Bear Ventures, and more knowledgeable speakers are being added as I write this! Get your tickets today before we run out!
Last week, Yorkseed NYC hosted a virtual Expert Session with a legal expert on fundraising. Our expert, with extensive board experience and thousands of pitch deck reviews, offered valuable insights. Interested in connecting? Fill out this form: https://sitch.app/s/dBbZzT3. More sessions are coming!
We also launched our first Passport Series in NYC since SXSW. On Sunday, we held two Authentic Connections events to focus on relationship-building instead of elevator pitches, featuring amazing startup community stories. Thanks to cohost Vipin Makhija from Kask and Xue Cheung, Davon Harris from Happiroom !
Networking should go beyond "What do you do?" and "What’s your LinkedIn?" There’s immense value in genuinely meeting new people and leading with what you can offer them.
Here's to continuing to build these new connections. 🥂
VivaTech is and we're so excited! If you'll be at Viva Tech from May 22nd-24th, join our chat for conference attendees. Check out our Viva Tech Unofficial Mater Side Event list and feel free to share it. Check out some of the Yorkseed official and community partnered events

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, 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 YorkseedTM 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, YorkseedTM 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
