🌴 Yorkseed Hub: Cannes Launching

Where Innovation Meets the Riviera

We’re thrilled to launch the Yorkseed Cannes Hub, expanding our global network to one of Europe’s rising hotspots for venture, tech, and creative capital.

Cannes is quickly becoming a go-to destination for founders and investors — with a calendar packed with high-impact events like:

• EthCC[8] – Now hosted in Cannes, connecting the global Ethereum ecosystem

• Cannes Lions – At the intersection of AI, media, brand, and innovation

• Axios “Truth & Authenticity” – Featuring investors, creators, and cultural leaders

• Cannes Next – Immersive tech, AI storytelling & film innovation

• WAICF – The world’s leading AI summit

We call it #YorkseedCannes — Everything Tech, Creative, Capital.

🌍 What to Expect from Yorkseed Cannes:

• Curated meetups & founder-investor mixers

• Local support during major events

• High-trust deal flow & collaboration opportunities

• A growing Riviera-based community with global reach

💫 What is the Yorkseed Passport Series?

A curated global lineup of founder-and-investor-driven gatherings hosted alongside major innovation moments—from NYC to Sydney to Paris. Every stop is built on authentic connection, trusted relationships, and high-signal community energy.

Sponsoring a Yorkseed event isn’t just about logo placement—it’s a gateway to curated relationships, international exposure, and deep venture ecosystem access.

Yorkseed x Unicorn Summit: Championing Women in Tech

We’re proud to be a strategic partner of Unicorn Summit, happening this week — and even prouder to share that 50 incredible women in tech from the Yorkseed community are attending the conference through specially sponsored tickets.

These founders, investors, and builders represent the heart of our mission: to elevate women shaping the future of innovation. At Yorkseed, we believe in a more inclusive, equitable tech ecosystem — and we’re committed to creating more seats at the table.

To all the inspiring women from our community who showed up at Unicorn Summit — your presence matters. And this is only the beginning. 💫

Saved the date! August 1st in London, our first local partnership event is happening!

Event Recap: Venture à la Mode – A Yorkseed Investors x Founders Mixer
📍 Hosted at SeedLegals London Office
📅 Tuesday, June 24 | 6:00 PM – 8:30 PM

On a warm summer evening in the heart of London, Yorkseed hosted Venture à la Mode, our signature Investors x Founders Mixer, bringing together a dynamic mix of early-stage investors, high-growth founders, and innovation ecosystem builders. The sleek SeedLegals office set the perfect tone for an evening of intentional connection, curated conversation, and real opportunity.

From casual chats to serious deal flow discussions, the night was filled with powerful exchanges — on everything from emerging sectors and founder market fit to scaling cross-border and co-investment strategies. It was a gathering where energy met execution, and future partnerships were born.

A special thank you to Anthony Rose from SeedLegals for generously hosting us and for being a core part of the startup infrastructure across the UK and beyond.

🙏 And thank you to everyone who joined us at our London event last week — it’s been incredible to feel the momentum from one hub to another. We’re thrilled to see the Yorkseed London Hub growing and thriving, and this is just the beginning. We’re looking forward to meeting more local collaborators, partnering with more forward-thinking orgs, and growing the venture ecosystem together.

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!
