"Too many serious founders and investors are held back
not by their ability — but by their access.
We built Yorkseed to fix that."

The real product
The network is
the product.
The software amplifies it.

Most platforms are built around a feature. Yorkseed is built around a world.

Since 2023 we have been cultivating a trusted global ecosystem — the relationships, the rooms, the conference activations, and the ecosystem density that serious founders and investors actually need.

Yorkseed Connect, our platform, sits underneath that network. It powers the relationships, the deal flow, and the intelligence tools. But the ecosystem comes first.

Curation over scale
Not everyone gets in. Every application is reviewed. Every member re-verified annually. The integrity of this network is the product.
🌍
Global, in person
50+ permanent city hubs. 30+ annual conference activations. Yorkseed is in the rooms that matter — SXSW, Web Summit, Davos, GITEX, and beyond.
🔒
Privacy by design
Full visibility controls. Intro requests require mutual acceptance. You browse and connect entirely on your terms — nothing is exposed without consent.
Relationships compound
Every introduction, every tool run, every event deepens your position in the global ecosystem. Access and trust build over time, not overnight.

Credibility

Recognized globally.
Trusted by the ecosystem.

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.

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.
