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!
