Credibility
From a SXSW spreadsheet to a global venture infrastructure platform in three years.
Joining Yorkseed during CES 2025 turned out to be one of the best decisions I made that week. Yorkseed immediately provided structure, context, and most importantly, the right people. Yorkseed is not just a network. It is a trusted ecosystem.
Becoming one of the first members in August 2023 changed the trajectory of my company and my growth as a leader, unlocking opportunities that would not have been possible without this community.
I knew 0 people when I came to Paris. Through Yorkseed I made family. Not to mention the tools that would probably take ages of googling and trusting to be done in seconds.
Yorkseed has been incredibly welcoming and supportive as we stepped into the French startup ecosystem. Visiting Station F and attending partner events led to meaningful conversations and honest product feedback.
Jessica and the Yorkseed community has been an exceptional resource for me personally and professionally. Jessica is truly a force of nature whose combined professionalism, energy and insight make Yorkseed truly an exceptional community.
Since 2023, I've connected with great minds around the globe, in travels, and across industries. It has greatly refined my perspective on networking. I've found partners, supporters, and friends.
