Yorkseed connects founders, investors, and institutional partners through intelligent deal infrastructure — discovery, diligence, and deal flow in one place, across 50+ cities worldwide. For those operating at the highest level, Valois is our private inner Circle — invitation only, referral-led, and built for the relationships that move capital across borders.
Private inner Circle Valois →"Too many serious founders and investors are held back
not by their ability — but by their access.
We built Yorkseed to fix that."
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.
Yorkseed is a layered ecosystem. The master brand contains everything — from relationship infrastructure to global conferences to venture intelligence. At the top of that stack sits Valois, our private inner Circle.
Every founder and investor on Yorkseed can submit a deal to the Deal Room — free, no paid membership required. Our team reviews every submission before it goes live.
Selected deals that match the Valois investor audience will be pushed to Valois — our exclusive private capital network for high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and private capital networks. Selection is made internally by our team.

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.
Becoming one of the first members in August 2023 changed the trajectory of my company and my growth as a leader, unlocking opportunities that would not have been possible without this community.
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.
Yorkseed has been incredibly welcoming and supportive as we stepped into the French startup ecosystem. Visiting Station F and attending partner events led to meaningful conversations and honest product feedback.
Jessica and the Yorkseed community has been an exceptional resource for me personally and professionally. Jessica is truly a force of nature whose combined professionalism, energy and insight make Yorkseed truly an exceptional community.
Since 2023, I've connected with great minds around the globe, in travels, and across industries. It has greatly refined my perspective on networking. I've found partners, supporters, and friends.
The right investor exists. The right founder exists. Getting to them — without the noise — is what Yorkseed is built for. Every application is reviewed. Every member is re-verified annually.
