PARIS — July 11, 2026 — Yorkseed House, Yorkseed's curated founder and investor pop-up series, closed out a five-day activation in Paris this week, running a full venture headquarters out of Osha Bergman Watanabe & Burton LLP's (OBWB) offices at 2 Rue de la Paix during RAISE Summit 2026. The edition marked the series' first stop in Paris and the first Paris salon for Valois by Yorkseed, the network's curated inner circle for family offices, GPs, and LPs.

Open free of charge from July 6–10, Yorkseed House Paris drew founders, investors, and ecosystem leaders daily from 9AM to 6PM, hosted in partnership with OBWB, a full-service intellectual property law firm. The week opened with an Opening Reception and Pitch Roulette on July 6, and closed with a session on doing AI business in the MENA region on July 10.

The week's programming included:

• July 6 — Yorkseed House opens; IP Office Hours and Business Scaling Office Hours with OBWB; Opening Reception & Pitch Roulette
• July 7 — Open House; Founder Office Hours; OBWB Legal & IP Office Hours
• July 8 — The Executive Rendez-Vous at Atelier 48; Valois at the Louvre, a private investor salon by invitation
• July 9 — AI Founders & Investors Breakfast Roundtable; The Capital Table Lunch
• July 10 — Community Day; Doing AI Business in the MENA Region

Valois at the Louvre, held the evening of July 8 at a private residence overlooking the museum, was Valois' first activation in Paris since its launch — bringing together family offices, GPs, and LPs for an invitation-only salon distinct from the open-access programming running at OBWB the same week.

Yorkseed House has now run editions in three cities — Austin, New York, and Paris — with a fourth planned for Lisbon during Web Summit in November 2026.
