Yorkseed had an incredible time at SXSW Sydney, Australia 🇦🇺 last week, and we couldn’t be more excited about what’s ahead in the Oceanic region! It was amazing to connect with so many passionate founders, investors, and innovators who share our vision for a thriving startup ecosystem.

One of the highlights was our Walk and Talk event—think networking, but way more fun! We strolled through Sydney’s beautiful spots, chatting with fellow entrepreneurs and investors in a relaxed, scenic setting. The vibe was genuine, the conversations were deep, and the connections were real. It was such a refreshing way to spark new ideas and collaborations. We’re truly energized by the momentum from Sydney and can’t wait to see how Yorkseed continues to grow in this dynamic region! 🌏

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 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!
