Liebe Meetup-Community, schön, dass du hier bist. Suchst du gerade nach einem neuen Funken für dein Leben? Pass auf: Diese Veranstaltung wird dich vielleicht nicht nur unterhalten und inspirieren – sie könnte deine Sicht auf die Dinge (und damit dein Leben) grundlegend verändern. Wenn du bereit bist, lies weiter. **Findest du dich in einer der folgenden Situationen wieder?** * **Frust trotz Erfolg:** Du (und vielleicht dein Partner) hast eigentlich alles „richtig“ gemacht – Studium, Karriere, gutes Gehalt. Aber durch die Inflation und steigende Kosten fühlt es sich nicht mehr selbstverständlich an, eine hohe Lebensqualität zu führen (beim Einkaufen, beim Urlaub buchen oder beim Eigenheimkauf). Hinzu kommen Bedenken über die Altersvorsorge aufgrund des aktuellen Rentensystems. * **Was nun nach den ersten Schritten?** Du hast dich schon an Aktien, ETFs, Krypto, Immobilien usw. herangetraut, aber der Weg zu deinem Traumleben sieht noch unendlich weit oder ungreifbar aus. * **„Selbst“ und „ständig“:** Du hast den Schritt in die Selbstständigkeit gewagt, fühlst dich aber gestresst – sei es wegen der Finanzen, dem Zeitmangel für dich und deine Familie oder beidem. **Stell dir vor, du gehst nach diesem Abend so nach Hause:** * **Antrieb:** Du erkennst, dass dein eigentlicher Traum, den du vor Jahren in die Ecke geschoben hast, doch möglich ist. * **Klarheit:** Du weißt jetzt, was dein nächster Schritt ist – und du hast richtig Lust, ihn zu gehen! * **Freude:** Du stehst am nächsten Tag nicht mehr aus Pflichtgefühl auf, sondern aus echter Freude. **Was wir machen:** Wir treffen uns in lockerer Runde und spielen das **[Cashflow-Spiel von Robert Kiyosaki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cashflow_101)**. Keine Theorie, sondern Spiel bzw. Simulation pur. Wir probieren auf dem Brett Sachen aus, die man im echten Leben vielleicht gar nicht sieht oder sich nicht traut – und lernen dabei extrem viel über unser eigenes Geldverhalten. Wir lachen viel, tauschen uns ehrlich aus und kommen als Gruppe weiter. **Der Plan:** * **18:30 Uhr:** Ankommen, Drink schnappen, kurz quatschen. * **19:00 Uhr:** Spielstart (ca. 90 Min.). * **Danach:** Offene Runde. Wir reden Tacheles – über Aktien, Krypto, Immobilien und deine persönlichen Erfahrungen. Steig ein – spielerisch, ehrlich und vielleicht ist das hier der Startschuss für dein neues Leben. Beste Grüße und bis dann, Shuying ========================================== **Wer wir sind:** Wir sind eine vielfältige Gruppe von Menschen, die entdeckt haben, dass strategisches Aktienhandeln für jeden zugänglich ist. Unser Ziel ist es, unsere gemeinsame Erfahrung zu teilen und Anfänger im Aktienhandel zu inspirieren, sich sinnvoll und emotionsfrei zu investieren. Wir glauben fest an das Konzept des gegenseitigen Lernens – indem wir dir helfen, lernen auch wir von dir, und schaffen so eine Win-Win-Situation für alle. **Was wir glauben:** * Erfolgreiches Aktienhandeln ist keine exklusive Domäne für Finanzexperten. * Das Verstehen von Aktien und das Treffen informierter Anlageentscheidungen ist für jeden erreichbar. * Du benötigst keinen Abschluss in Betriebswirtschaft, um die Prinzipien der Wertanlage zu verstehen. * Technische Aktienanalyse ist nicht nur für Finanzprofis gedacht; es ist eine Fähigkeit, die du erlernen kannst. **Über die Gründerin dieser Meetup Gruppe:** Shuying hat Mitte 2023 selbst ihren Weg zur Anlegerin gefunden – von der Frustration und Überforderung zur begeisterten Aktieninvestorin, nachdem sie die Grundlagen der Chartanalyse gelernt hatte. Inspiriert durch diese Erfahrung gründete sie diese Meetup-Gruppe, um andere auf ihrem Weg zu mehr Selbstvertrauen, Klarheit und finanzieller Freiheit zu unterstützen.

Planning to go on parental leave while working in tech? You probably have a ton of questions, and we will do our best to get you answers. Whether you're expecting, currently on leave, planning ahead or wanting to support your teammates, navigating parental leave comes with a lot of new challenges. Technical careers require us to stay up to date and living in Germany adds another layer of bureaucratic hurdles to the mix. To help you feel more prepared, we have selected panelists who've been through it and will share their experiences openly: what worked, what surprised them, and what they wish they'd known. We'll cover the practical and bureaucratic side, the career side, and we'll reserve time for your questions. **🗓️ Agenda** 6:30 Arrival and networking 7:00 Welcome and Intro 7:10 Panel Discussion: Planning Parental Leave in Tech 9:00 Event ends **Panel: Planning Parental Leave in Tech** ● **Saranya Parvathi Ganesan**, Senior Software Engineer @Immoscout24 ● **Sinny Kumari**, Associate Engineering Manager @Red Hat ● **Vanessa Ating**, Senior Frontend Engineer ● Moderated by: **Vaishali Thakkar,** Confidential Computing Expert @SUSE **🍕 Food and Drinks** There will be vegetarian and vegan food and beverages sponsored by our host Bettermile. 🗣️ **About the Panelists** **Saranya** I’m a mother to a four-year-old daughter and currently work as a Senior Software Engineer at ImmoScout24.

Women Techmakers Berlin and SPICED Academy are joining forces to host an evening focused on both building *efficient AI systems* and navigating the real challenges of building a *career in tech*—beyond just learning technical skills. ## Talks Talk 1: Confidence Beyond Skills - What Really Holds Women Back in Tech Careers - by Marina Matveevskaia Many women in tech keep investing in new courses, skills, and certifications, yet still feel stuck or “not ready enough” to take the next career step. In this talk, we will look beyond technical competence and explore the less visible factors that often shape career growth much more strongly — such as self-trust, fear of visibility, internalized expectations, and the emotional impact of burnout or layoffs. I will share common patterns I see in highly capable women and why “just improving skills” is often not the real barrier. Participants will leave with new perspectives and simple reflection tools to better understand what is holding them back and how to move forward in a more sustainable and aligned way. Talk 2: Efficient Agentic Systems - by Jane Waithira Let Classical ML Do the Heavy Lifting, Let Agents Do the Thinking There’s a temptation to throw an LLM at every problem—but the most effective systems take a different approach. This talk explores how to combine deterministic, classical machine learning for predictable tasks with LLM-powered agents for reasoning and decision-making—so you can build systems that are fast, cost-effective, and reliable. ## Speakers **Jane Waithira:** Jane Waithira is an innovative, solution-oriented developer working in AI/ML, currently at SAP in Germany, where she integrates applied AI and GenAI for SAP's own cloud infrastructure. With over five years of experience building production AI systems, Jane has established her skillset in practical applications of ML and GenAI. Her talk will provide attendees with a practical framework for building efficient agentic systems that combine deterministic classical ML with the flexibility of LLM-powered agents.

With over 14 years of experience in the IT industry, including leadership roles, she understands the unique pressures and challenges women face in fast-paced, male-dominated environments. In her coaching practice, Marina focuses on burnout prevention, impostor syndrome, and career transitions, helping highly capable women build sustainable and fulfilling career paths. She also collaborates with the German Employment Agency (Arbeitsagentur) as an AVGS coach, supporting women in their return to the labour market.

Hello! I’m organising a coworking + socialising session for all of us who are working on projects (e.g. our own creations, freelance or remote work) but don't feel like sitting alone at home. 🙂 To ensure that we have time for both socialising AND working, we will be using the so-called “Pomodoro” technique: **50 mins deep work** (silent), followed by **10 mins break** to socialise. And then repeat! You are welcome to join whatever your personal background is, and whatever project you are working on. I (the host) speak English and German, so either language is fine. ——————————————————- AGENDA: * **Short Intro** Tell us who you are and share something about what you will be working on today * **Pomodoro Session** \- 3x \(3h\) Each Pomodoro session consists of 50 mins focused “deep work” (no talking, no interruptions, **phones on silent mode**) -> then 10 mins break: a chance to share your progress with others -> Repeat * **15 mins Wrap Up** Celebrate what you achieved and get to know others 😊 ———— The location is **Espresso House near Checkpoint Charlie** (they have multiple outlets - so be sure to go to the correct one!) Wifi + power plugs are available - but best to bring a fully charged laptop, just in case 🙃 You **do not** have to pay anything. But since we are using the café space, it is common courtesy to buy at least one drink (coffee costs roughly **4 Euros**).

**Move Capital. Move Talent. Move Africa.** Africa is the youngest continent on earth. By 2050, 1 in 5 people globally will be African. Yet African startups still receive less than 1% of global VC funding. What is the real problem? Is it time to tap into the estimated $95–100 billion USD in remittances sent by the diaspora? This Africa Day, in partnership with the Westerwelle Foundation, which has just published The German–Africa Investment Report, we will go deep into the gaps to explore : 📈 How Africa’s startup ecosystem is growing 🌍 Which New markets are rising, and how to pay attention to them 💡 Which segments pose the greatest returns outside of FinTech 🤝 How to take the best next step as an investor, proven by research. The event welcomes: Founders, Investors, Operators, the diaspora, and Institutional partners looking to make their moves into the African Market with intention. To our network members and partners who have been looking to make the move from remittances → to investment, from fragmented effort → to ecosystem building. This event is for you. Culminating from this event will be our delegation trip to #Nigeria and #Ghana in September in Collaboration with GITEX Nigeria and South Africa, and Namibia in November. Move Africa. #AfricaDay #AfricaRising #AfricanDiaspora #InvestInAfrica #AfricanInnovation #investment #funding # VC #Angelinvesting #African Excellence #Excellence #Leadership #FutureOfAfricaEvening Programme **SCHEDULE** 18:30 Arrival Networking reception Guests arrive. No job titles on badges — just names and country of origin. The room begins to know itself before the panel starts. 19:00 Opening Welcome & the diagnosis — 10 mins The host frames the evening in plain language. Not a speech — a provocation. Four sentences stating the diagnosis. Then the panel takes the stage. 19:10 Panel · 50 mins The conversation — moderated, flowing, unscripted Four panellists. One moderator. The conversation moves through the diagnosis naturally — from the wealth gap, to the talent drain, to the trust deficit, to the intention trap. No fixed questions. The moderator's job is to keep the room honest and the conversation moving toward one inevitable question: so what do we do about it tonight? 20:00 Panel · Open floor The room joins the conversation — 20 mins Not a Q&A. The moderator selects three or four people in the room — pre-identified — to add their perspective. Brief, pointed contributions that deepen the diagnosis rather than repeat it. The panel responds. The room feels heard. 20:20 Break Drinks — 20 mins The panel comes off stage and into the room. Guests speak directly with panellists. The conversation continues informally — which means it deepens.

It's only a 40 minute train ride north of Berlin, making it the perfect day trip getaway from the city's hustling. Following the meandering river we traverse the mystical forest, walk on wooden planks through moors and marshes and explore natural habitats and endemic wildlife. On this hike, immerse yourself into nature’s wonder! Have you ever observed the tiny details of the outdoors? Such as the intricate veins on the back of a leaf? Or the delicate edges of flowers’ petals? Or the movement of a cheeky squirrel? On this walk, you will have the chance to truly connect with the natural world around you. No experience or preparation is needed, just your curiosity. You will be guided through every step of the way. **TRIP DETAILS** **Meeting Location and Time:** * **Option A:** Meeting in Gesundbrunnen Train Station[ ](https://maps.app.goo.gl/iY2oByrR3WkwoNQJ7 "https://maps.app.goo.gl/iY2oByrR3WkwoNQJ7")at 9:30 am * **Option B:** Meeting outside Zühlsdorf Train Station at 11:00 am **Finishing Location and Time:** Borgsdorf Train Station (S-Bahn) at 5:30pm **Hiking Distance:** 13 km walking, 7 hours from start to closing, multiple break times **Hiking Difficulty:** Easy – Walking on marked paths / dirt roads, mostly flat terrain, relaxed pace **Kid Friendly:** Yes **Pet Friendly:** Yes **What is included?** * Community Leader and Guide for the entire duration. * Guided hike. * Access to Google photos album dedicated for this trip for sharing all your amazing pictures and videos from the trip. * Access to a WhatsApp group for the confirmed participants. **Note:** Please contact us immediately if you do not have WhatsApp and we can make alternate arrangements from our end to ensure you do not miss out on any communication. **FOR FUTURE TRIP UPDATES:** Please do join our WhatsApp / Telegram channel for updates about our future trips including possible early bird discounts, contests etc. 1.

🚀 **From Idea to First 10 Customers — Part 2** ​The journey doesn’t stop after building the idea. The real challenge begins when you need people to actually use — and pay for — what you created. ​After the great response to our first session, we’re bringing back Part 2 with deeper discussions, practical insights, and real founder experiences focused on getting traction in the early stages. ​This session is designed for founders, aspiring entrepreneurs, freelancers, and anyone interested in understanding how startups move from an idea to their first real users and customers. ​No unrealistic “growth hacks.” No theory overload. Just practical conversations around early-stage growth, validation, customer acquisition, and building momentum. *** # ​💡 What We’ll Discuss ​• How to get your first users • Finding early adopters • Mistakes founders make in the beginning • Why validation matters more than perfection • Building trust before scaling • Realistic approaches to early customer acquisition • Lessons from startup experiences *** # ​🎯 Why Join ​Because getting your first customers is often harder than building the product itself. ​This session will help you better understand: ✔ how people discover products ✔ why some ideas gain traction and others don’t ✔ what founders should focus on in the early stages *** # ​📅 Event Details ​📅 **May 30, 2026** ⏰ **13:00 – 15:30** 📍 **The Social Hub** ​See you there!

Tuesday, June 2nd, 5:00–8:30 PM Eastern Central Ohio Chapter Meeting IN PERSON IN COLUMBUS How I Get Private Lenders and Partners to Fund My Deals If you can’t fund it, you don’t have a deal. And right now, funding is where more investors are getting stuck. Private lenders are more cautious. Partners are asking better questions. And deals that look good on paper still fall apart when the money doesn’t show up. That’s why we’re bringing in a panel of investors who are actually getting their deals funded right now. You’ll hear how they’re finding money, structuring deals, and building relationships that lead to repeat funding. Here’s what you’ll learn: * Where they’re finding private lenders today * How they start conversations that lead to funding * What makes lenders and partners say YES * How they structure deals to be fundable * The biggest mistakes investors make when raising money * How to build repeat funding relationships **Early Session (6:00–7:00 PM Eastern):** **Having Trouble Finding Tenants? How Community Shelter Board Can Help** Nicholas Brenner will walk you through programs designed to help rapidly rehouse tenants, including financial support that can stabilize your rentals. **The Deal Room (7:00–7:30 PM Eastern)** Bring deals, funding needs, buyers, and problems. This is where connections turn into action.

Mental Health, how do you understand it? How can you improve it? How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went? Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence? Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp. This group is hosted by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
