Yorkseed Web Summit Final Whisper: Founders & Investors Closing Soirée
Speakeasy vibes. Global energy. One last night to remember.
After a whirlwind week of panels, parties, and powerful conversations, we’re closing out Web Summit Lisbon in true Yorkseed style, returning to our favorite hidden speakeasy for an exclusive, selective closing soirée. (There is a capacity limit, if you can’t make it, cancel your registration and make rooms for other investors and founders)
Yorkseed events prioritize quality over quantities. Expect a night where the noise fades and real connections begin. Founders, investors, and friends from around the world will gather one last time to unwind, exchange stories, and toast to everything that’s yet to come.
🍸 Signature drinks and cocktails available for purchase at the bar throughout the evening.
🎟️ Please wear your name tag if you have one. We’ll also have name labels available for everyone at the door.
🔴🟢 Different color stickers will identify founders and investors based on the event’s application, not your Web Summit badge.
✨ The Final Whisper is where the summit ends and the conversations continue.

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. ✨
As we return to Web Summit Lisbon 2025, Yorkseed is once again curating experiences that connect founders, investors, and innovators from around the world. We are welcoming sponsors and partners who want to engage with a highly curated audience during one of the world’s largest tech gatherings while supporting meaningful conversations, authentic connections, and real deal flow across the venture ecosystem.
For those who prefer not to carry your branded materials or giveaways throughout the week, you are welcome to bring them directly to us. We will make sure they are displayed and distributed to attendees during our Yorkseed events and gatherings.
If you or someone in your network would like to get involved, we’d love to connect:
