Profiles can include company or fund information, investment focus, delegate names and titles, and meeting details so people in Lisbon can identify who is in town and request relevant introductions.

Delegation kickoff and welcome in Lisbon.

After Lisbon
The network continues through Yorkseed Connect, follow-up introductions, the public Deal Book, and the Global Founder Showcase.
The Deal Book
The Yorkseed Lisbon Delegation Deal Book is designed as a public-facing guide to the people and organizations participating in the delegation.
Founder profiles may include company overview, stage, sector, traction, fundraising or partnership priorities, and the delegates who will be in Lisbon.
Investor and allocator profiles may include investment focus, geography, stage, check size, areas of interest, and the team members available to meet during the week.
The goal is simple: make it easier for the right people to find one another while everyone is in Lisbon.

Investor, LP, and family office participation is complimentary and subject to approval.
Approved investors may be included in the Deal Book, receive relevant founder introductions, participate in selected delegation gatherings, and join the post-Lisbon Global Founder Showcase.
