Yorkseed Passport Series : Founders + Investors Afternoon Social
Join us for a relaxed mid-afternoon social bringing together founders, investors, and operators from across the startup ecosystem.
This gathering is designed to create space for meaningful conversations and new connections between people actively building and investing in innovation. Whether you’re a founder sharing ideas, an investor exploring opportunities, or an operator supporting the next generation of startups, this is an easy setting to meet others in the ecosystem.
Unlike crowded evening parties, the afternoon format allows for more thoughtful conversations and organic introductions. Expect a mix of founders, angels, venture capitalists, and ecosystem leaders stopping by throughout the afternoon.
There is no formal agenda — just good conversations, new connections, and a chance to meet others shaping the future of startups and venture.
Drinks will be available for purchase at the bar. Feel free to drop in, stay for a while, and connect.
