NEW YORK, October 21, 2026: Yorkseed today launched The Deal Book, the published directory at the center of every Yorkseed Delegation, and announced The Yorkseed Annual 2026, a year-end edition that brings every delegation and every delegate of the year together in one place.
Every Yorkseed Delegation now publishes its own Deal Book. Each delegate, whether a founder, an investor or a partner, has a profile covering what they build, back or offer and who they want to meet. Readers request introductions through Yorkseed rather than reaching delegates directly: Yorkseed reviews each request and shares the relevant ones, and the delegate decides whether to respond. Personal contact details are never shared.
The first edition, the Lisbon Deal Book, launches with the Yorkseed Lisbon Delegation at Web Summit, November 8 to 12, 2026. It is organized into Companies, Partners and Investors, with a letter from the founder, a guide to Lisbon, the delegation's itinerary and a feature on why Lisbon matters now. It is shared across the Yorkseed network during Web Summit week, stays online afterwards, and is available as a PDF. Introduction requests are open from November 1 to 21.
At the end of each year, the Deal Books from every Yorkseed Delegation will be collected into a single edition, The Yorkseed Annual. The first edition, The Yorkseed Annual 2026, will be published and shared across the Yorkseed network at year end, giving founders, investors and partners a record of everyone Yorkseed travelled with that year, and giving readers one more way to request an introduction.
"Delegations last a week. The relationships are supposed to last much longer. The Deal Book means everyone who travels with us stays findable, and the Annual turns a year of delegations into something the whole network can use."
A limited number of labelled partner pages are available in the Lisbon Deal Book, in The Yorkseed Annual 2026, or in both, including feature spreads and one presenting partner for the Annual. Every request is reviewed, and founding rates apply to the first partners. Requests can be made at yorkseed.co/delegation/partner.
Founders, investors and partners who want a profile in a future Deal Book can join an upcoming delegation at yorkseed.co/delegation.
