Recap: Yorkseed x The Kairos Circle at Polsinelli NYC | April 2nd

On April 2nd, Yorkseed partnered with Mona Yan, Allport Capital and Christopher Birney, Kairos Circle for a memorable evening at Polsinelli’s NYC office. The event brought together family offices, investors, and high-growth founders from diverse sectors like med tech, fintech, AI, robotics, and women’s health.

This wasn’t just about elevator pitches—it was about forging meaningful connections with those building long-term, impactful solutions. Yorkseed curated a handpicked group of founders from our global network, showcasing the next wave of visionary leadership and innovation.

We’re excited to continue hosting curated events that connect exceptional founders and mission-driven capital. The best is yet to come.

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!

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!
