Hello

I'mJessica Sophia Wong

Female Founder and Early Stage Startup Business Advisor

Jessica, a minority woman in tech, is an active advocate for equality and women's empowerment. She served on the planning committee for member of Forbes Council and keynote speaker for the LLS Men of the Year Running Campaign in 2020. Jessica is dedicated to using her platform for positive change. As a driven and passionate entrepreneur with a diverse background, Jessica established her career in interior design and as a marketing consultant. Paired with her love for mother nature, she eventually turned a hobby into a positive impact on her community. In 2017, she co-founded a grassroots Earth Day fundraiser campaign in New York City, which raised money for the National Resources Defense Council. Over the years, she has continued to host successful charity events and was recognized in September 2022 by Bunchful, a social enterprise organization backed by the Gates Foundation and the United Nations for her philanthropic efforts. Looking ahead, Jessica will be recognized again at Bunchful's gala during the 2023 UN General Assembly week. Jessica has a keen interest in startups and Web3, and is a fan of hosting events and solo traveling. She has had some amazing experiences, including invited as a VIP guest by NASDAQ through Twitter to witness the opening bell ringing ceremony, and ringing the opening bell of Chinese tech company ABASCUS at the NYSE New York Stock Exchange. Currently, Jessica is working on several exciting projects, including a mental health peer support platform for students and a blockchain-based short-term rental platform to help combat overpriced housing in New York City. She is also building a global community for founders and investors, Yorkseed, with the hope of fostering strong relationships and bringing startups with great visions to life. Jessica is committed to making a positive impact on society and the world.

Founder and CEO (Proof of Concept Phase 2023)

Yorkseed (Ventures + Founders + Invenstors + Innovations + Community + Accelerator)

I'm the girl with the list from 2023 SXSW Austin! During my 3 hours train ride from NYC to DC, out of boredom I created a master list of all SXSW Unofficial events that everyone can attend without a badge! And my list went viral! I successfully hosted an exclusive high profile Founders x Investors SXSW Mixers in less than one hour of planning, within the same day 3 hours later! It was sold out where I had to turned people away. I decided to create a company based on my little success from SXSW 2023 with the the proof of concept from my last year Earth Day Charity Brunch and the Yorkseed exclusive WhatsApp community I have built during SXSW. If you are a Founders / Investors / Work within the Innovation Sectors, you are invited to join our exclusive Yorkseed Global Hubs: Yorkseed Global Hubs.

Jessica Sophia Wong Philanthropic Bio

Jessica Sophia Wong is an unapologetic entrepreneur, philanthropist extraordinaire, and lifelong climate change advocate.

Jessica is a startup founder, solo world traveler, mental health advocate, and thought leader, her trove of accomplishments is as enormous as her heart.

As a jet-setting tech entrepreneur, Jessica has great dreams, she started wanting to make a difference to create a brighter future for people, but at the same time, Jessica wanted more.

She wanted to turn her love for mother nature into a hobby that would help to make a small dent in her community. Thus the Earth Day charity fundraiser began. On Earth Day 2017, Jessica and her friend Mildred started a grassroots Earth Day fundraiser campaign in New York City. Initially, a few friends got together for a bottomless brunch where we raised money for NRDC, the National Resources Defense Council. When Mildred moved away, Jessica continued the tradition, and in 2022 she successfully planned an art auction Earth Day charity gala in less than three weeks and raised thousands of dollars for NRDC. 

Through the Earth Day Charity Event, Jessica shows the world that philanthropy and hobbies can go hand-in-hand.

Jessica has traveled the world and has a palpable love for animals, people, and the planet. She recently returned from Costa Rica, which gave her a fresh perspective on the fight against climate change. With her fresh perspective, Jessica decided she wanted to do more. She started a clothing and used items drive at all her house parties. People in need were able to take seasonal clothing, umbrellas, and essentials bags filled with necessities. A highlight of such giveaways included a clothing package sent to a family in Gambia.

She also collects usable glass jars and takeaway plastic containers, which she washes and gives to people who need the items at home. Jessica has also been a foster mother for an animal shelter that was based in Lower Manhattan. 

Currently, she is building a mental health peer support platform for students and a blockchain-based short-term rental platform to help fight overpriced housing in New York City by providing an opportunity for the public to gain access to affordable housing. 

Her unique story and the incredible change she’s helped to facilitate in her community have drawn the attention of many people she has crossed paths. Jessica continuously inspires others to be a better version of themselves.

Jessica is magnetic, fun-loving, hilarious — and as kind, as they come. She is bringing her sense of purpose and philanthropy to the rest of the world (with integrity!).
