This event is part of Yorkseed Passport Series: Web Summit Lisbon 2026 Edition
We are coming back to Lisbon in full force for another year of the Yorkseed Passport Series.
To kick off Web Summit week in true Yorkseed style, we’re bringing together a select group of founders and investors for an intimate evening designed to help you meet people, make meaningful connections, and start the week with the right crowd.
Hosted by Yorkseed, this pre-game is a relaxed and social way to reconnect with familiar faces, meet new people from across the global venture ecosystem, and exchange ideas before the week gets busy.
Come say hello, find your people, and start Web Summit week with the Yorkseed community.

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 2026, 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.
