Explore LabsOur Portfolio
Company building is changing. Our portfolio wanted investors who understood this shift and were ready to tackle it head on.
Across 60+ vertical software and AI companies, founders consistently point to the same differentiators – operator credibility, sector depth and execution support that shows up beyond the term sheet.
“What we really liked about York IE was that it’s made up of operators, people who’ve actually done what we want to do. It’s not just capital; it’s execution support from day one.”
“York IE was the only institutional investor we chose. They understood our space and our mission, shared our competitive mindset, and brought empathy, professionalism, and alignment at every step. We couldn’t be more proud to work with them.”
“York IE helped us transform our business quickly, and the benefit of this work will be felt for years to come.”
“I want to work with people that I trust, that other founders say great things about, and people have said great things about York IE. I also like the fact that they specialize in B2B SaaS. They can take lessons from neighboring industries and bring them to us. That’s incredibly important.”
“The really exciting thing about working with York IE is the access to Advisory as a Service. We don’t want to build out large teams. We just want to solve problems for our customers by leveraging all the resources that York IE brings to the table.”
