The room within the room. Valois is the curated upper layer of Yorkseed — relationship infrastructure for family offices, GPs, LPs, and allocators operating at the intersection of capital, access, and trust.
Valois is not a separate company or a spin-off — it's the top tier of Yorkseed itself, built on the same conviction Yorkseed was founded on: that the most consequential relationships in global capital happen in small rooms, not large ones.
It is not a platform. Not a club. Not a perk bundle. It is a Circle of people who move capital, broker relationships, and make decisions in rooms most people don't reach. Every Valois member also receives full access to Yorkseed Connect's Capital Circle — the venture intelligence and relationship platform underneath it.
Yorkseed was founded in New York City. Valois is its curated upper layer, born from the same conviction that shaped Yorkseed from day one.
A name long associated with diplomacy, cultural authority, and the rooms where things are decided — Place de Valois, the 1st arrondissement. Chosen because what it suggests is exactly what this is.
Family offices, HNWIs, endowments, and sovereign wealth principals deploying capital across asset classes and borders.
GPs, LPs, and institutional investors managing or allocating to funds across venture, private equity, and alternative assets.
Davos, F1, the Met, Frieze — dinners alongside the rooms that matter, not the conference floor. Small, off-record, carefully curated.
Selective, alignment-based introductions. No open networking, no mass attendee lists.
A curated communication Circle — vertical salons, invitation-only gatherings, and discreet opportunities.
Selective access to curated deal flow across venture, private equity, and alternative assets. GP/LP introductions and cross-border syndicates.
Membership is by referral or direct application. All submissions require a reference from an existing Valois member or a Yorkseed network contact, and are subject to a discreet vetting process. Admission is considered case by case — the integrity of the Circle depends on it. There is no fixed timeline; the process moves at Valois's pace.
Valois is Yorkseed's curated upper-tier network for family offices, GPs, LPs, and allocators. Deal flow presented within the Circle is for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, a solicitation, or an offer to buy or sell any security.
