Business Athlete – Run & Connect #4
5.5 km jog · warm-up & cool-down · riverside coffee · AI talks · AI community
Why we’re doing this
In the last weeks, we’ve met new people in Frankfurt who share our goals: a short run, great coffee, and a talk about AI and entrepreneurship. It reminded us how important it is to be surrounded by the right company. Speakers sharpen on stages; musicians grow with other musicians. Founders and builders? We believe we level up best together. If you want your next idea to spark, get feedback, or just talk about AI and entrepreneurship —this is your place.
This edition
Forecast looks good (~23 °C, partly sunny). We’ll start with a light warm-up, keep a comfortable pace, and finish with a cool-down. No one gets left behind.

Who should join

Conversations you can expect
