🌱 What is Yorkseed?
Yorkseed was born from a silly joke that went viral during SXSW 2023, and Yorkseed was born in April the same years, but what started as an inside joke quickly turned into a thriving global community of founders, investors, and executives. Since then, Yorkseed has grown into:
✅ A global network of 10+ conference hubs & 20+ city hubs
