Yorkseed Capital Lunch
This event is part of Yorkseed Passport Series: Web Summit Lisbon 2027 Edition
Yorkseed Passport Series | Capital Lunch
Fundraising is often discussed in crowded conference halls, rushed coffee meetings, and packed networking events.
The Capital Lunch creates space for a different kind of conversation.
Bringing together a curated group of founders, venture capitalists, angel investors, emerging fund managers, and venture ecosystem leaders, this lunch is designed for meaningful discussions, relationship building, and long-term connections within the venture ecosystem.
Whether you are actively raising capital, deploying capital, exploring co-investment opportunities, or building relationships for future opportunities, The Capital Lunch offers a more intentional environment to connect with peers during Web Summit week.
This is a curated lunch for those actively participating in the venture ecosystem.
No stage. No panels. No pitching competition.
Just meaningful conversations, quality connections, and a room of people actively building and investing.

Matches are selected based on each guest’s background, goals, interests, and potential areas of mutual value, helping you arrive with a clearer understanding of who to meet and why.

Since 2023, Yorkseed has been connecting innovators across 50+ global hubs, helping founders and emerging fund managers successfully raise from VCs, LPs, and family offices through our curated gatherings and private introductions.
At Web Summit Lisbon last year, one emerging fund closed a deal with an LP, and multiple founders received funding directly through Yorkseed Passport events. We’ve also seen companies launched, documentaries produced, and partnerships formed — all starting from Yorkseed connections. ✨
