Yorkseed — Global Hubs
How hubs work

Built on signal,
not scale.

Yorkseed City Hubs provide members with a curated space for venture activity in their local market. Every hub follows the same standards that make the global network worth being part of.

Who can join
Active founders, accredited investors, and ecosystem builders committed to high-signal collaboration. Membership is by application — not open to all.
What gets shared
In-person events focused on founders, investors, venture, and technology. General public events or purely social gatherings are not permitted.
Virtual events
Only shared within Yorkseed if formally affiliated through structured partnership, sponsorship, or official co-hosting with visible Yorkseed branding.
Hub Directors
Each hub is led by a verified Hub Director who runs local events, connects members on the ground, and represents Yorkseed in their city.
