Ni Hao 🚀 Yorkseeders! #110

🚀 Greetings Yorkseeder!

Today’s Hello is in Mandarin Chinese "Ni Hao" ! What’s cooking this week within the Yorkseed radar?

🌍 Out of Office Notice Till Later This Work Week 🌿

As someone who works across all time zones and often 7 days a week — from New York to Paris, Lisbon to Singapore — I’ve finally decided to practice what I preach: sustainable building requires sustainable rest.

Starting today, I’ll be taking 10 days completely offline to recharge, reset, and restore.

I will not be reachable via WhatsApp during this time. If it’s urgent, please email and I’ll get back to you after I return.

Thanks for your understanding — and to everyone building relentlessly, don’t forget to pause. You deserve it too.

See you on the other side 💛
— Jessica

💫 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.

I am planning for New York Climate Week in September and Web Summit Lisbon in November. interested to be a part of it?

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. Paris, New York City, Austin | San Antonio, Miami, D.C., Los Angeles, Chicago, Bay Area, Hong Kong, Lisbon, Sydney, Dublin, Munich, Berlin, Paris, Helsinki, London, Amsterdam, Singapore, GIFT City, São Paulo | Rio, Buenos Aires, Toronto, Montreal, Dubai, Zurich, Milan, Tel Aviv, International Hub (All Other Cities). 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!
