Are you starting something new in 2026?
Maybe you’re a founder.
Maybe you’re exploring a business idea on the side.
Maybe you’ve recently left a job and are asking yourself: what now?
Or maybe entrepreneurship is simply a quiet curiosity you’ve carried for years.
Whatever your starting point — you’re warmly invited to join us - founders, want to be founders and explorers ourselves :)

Most ideas don’t disappear because people aren’t capable.
They disappear because we build them alone, too fast, or too far from real human needs.
That’s why we begin with empathy.

### 🌱 Design Thinking for Daily Business — Kickoff Workshop 2026

In our first session of the year, we’ll slow down and return to the beginning:

  • empathy for yourself (what energizes you, what you want to create this year)
  • empathy for your customer (who you’re designing for, and what they truly need)

This is a beginner-friendly, low-pressure workshop — a chance to tick something important off your to-do list:
✔ reconnect with your passions
✔ walk your idea one step closer to real people
✔ start 2026 with clarity instead of noise

This workshop is part of the ThriveHub Foundation series we began last year —and whether you joined before or this is your first time, you’ll find something new here.

As you see on the pictures, we keep it fun and light, but still get important things done. You will be welcomed by a room of like-minded, supportive peers.

Just one thing - we are all volunteers in ThriveHub and it means a lot for us when you show up and make the most out of the meetups or as life changes, you update your spot when you have to cancel.

Warmly,
Lubi
