Yorkseed Expert Session: Founder Insights

Yorkseed Expert Session: Founder Insights

Register 👉 https://luma.com/or2m2bpv 11-12 Tuesday, June 24 2025

Founded by Jessica Sophia Wong, Yorkseed is a global venture community built to connect founders, investors, and operators through a growing network of hubs around the world. What started as a shared spreadsheet at SXSW has grown into a vibrant movement spanning continents.

This event is part of Yorkseed Expert Series.

​Most Founders start their journey with a pitch deck, a prototype, and a lot of pressure to grow but little clarity on how to gain customers, validate their messaging, or build traction that impresses VCs. We’ll break down what most miss: the real-world marketing insights every startup needs to attract their ideal customer, avoid wasted spend, and stand out in a crowded, noisy market.

​Tova Feldheim and Caroline Jerome will teach you:

​1. How to talk about your product so VCs and customers actually get it
2. How to turn your story into something investors believe and customers buy
3. Why your language matters and how to tailor it for each audience without losing your message

​Walk away with the tactical understanding needed to attract users, generate revenue, and satisfy investor expectations instead of relying on trial-and-error or burning through capital.

The founder picks up the phone. Every time. That’s how the first hundred deals got closed. Not by a sales team, but by the person who built the product. And it worked. It worked so well that eventually there was a round in the bank and money to finally build a sales team.

Confidence and ego look identical from the outside. Both sound sure, both move fast. The real question behind a founder’s conviction should always be “will this work?” Ego guesses at the answer. Confidence checks it.
