What are the contacts of Yes VC?
Yes VC can be reached through its website yes.vc, its LinkedIn page and its X account. Its general enquiries address is partners@yes.vc. Cold-mailing a general inbox rarely reaches a partner, so Private Equity List also lists the investment-team contacts for Yes VC — names, roles, verified work emails and LinkedIn profiles — available on a Pro plan from $129/month (see pricing). Contacts are sourced from the firm's website and LinkedIn and re-verified on a rolling cycle. Spot a stale contact, or none at all? Report it — we re-run that firm within 48h and get back to you.
Can I access Yes VC data via API or MCP?
Yes. Every field on this page — profile, funds, investment criteria, portfolio and investment-team contacts — is available programmatically through the Private Equity List REST API and MCP server, so AI assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT can query Yes VC directly instead of scraping this page. One subscription covers both the web app and machine access — see API & MCP.
When was the Yes VC profile last updated?
Private Equity List re-verifies investor profiles on a rolling cycle, pulling from the firm's own website and LinkedIn rather than a one-off import. This profile was last updated on 05 April, 2025. Something out of date here? Report it — we re-run that firm within 48h and get back to you.
