Adam Lasri (Yellow): Pre-Seed Investing & Portfolio Updates

Adam Lasri of Yellow gives an update on the pre-seed fund after two and a half years: 25+ teams backed, more than a third already raising next rounds. He explains what makes pre-seed investing special — being the first check, delivering on promises, and providing operational and commercial support like first enterprise intros — and how sourcing works through LinkedIn, VC referrals, and founder goodwill in Paris, Zurich, Barcelona and London. He highlights portfolio stories including Wortsmith (legal AI, approaching a ~$70M Series B) and Davis (48-hour feasibility reports for real estate developers), and reflects on moving from a large fund to founding his own.
