As a Yorkseed delegate, you’ll receive a special discounted rate of $100 USD (normally higher) to attend. Once registered as part of Yorkseed delegation, you’ll also gain access to the ASGH Deal-making platform, where you can pre-match with investors and project owners ahead of the summit and set up valuable 1:1 meetings:

In addition, we’re working on direct connections for our delegation with Cyberport and Hong Kong Science & Technology Parks, two key innovation hubs in HK with top-tier incubation and acceleration programs—major opportunities for Yorkseed founders.

Rooftops, Rollouts & Real Ones ☀️💛 We hosted Rooftops & Rollouts on April 19th to kick off NYC FinTech Week—and wow, we’re still feeling the love. When we scheduled the event a week ago, we had no idea it was Easter weekend… but you showed up anyway. And not just showed up—you filled the rooftop bar room with energy, curiosity, and heart. We even had two VIPs join us last night—tiny but mighty members of the Yorkseed family! 🐾💛 Always a good time when the pups roll through.

From fintech to climate, AI to consumer, the space buzzed with ideas, laughter, and new connections. We’re so grateful to this community of builders and backers who made the night unforgettable.

Here’s to rolling into FinTech Week with momentum—and to all the moments ahead.

From founders to funders, the room was full of good vibes, real talk, and genuine connection. As we gear up for London Tech Week, this night reminded us why community matters. Here’s to building bridges—not just businesses. 💛

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.

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!
