Yorkseed Capital Lunch
This event is part of Yorkseed Passport Series: Web Summit Lisbon 2026 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.

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. ✨
This year, as we return to Web Summit Lisbon 2025, we’re actively looking for sponsors and partners who want to engage with a highly curated audience of global founders, investors, and innovators.
Partnering with Yorkseed is a unique opportunity to showcase your brand during one of the world’s largest tech gatherings — while supporting meaningful conversations, connections, and deal flow across the venture ecosystem.
If you or someone in your network would like to get involved, we’d love to connect:
