This is our *brand new* Monday morning SU&W meetup, now at a more central & BVG-friendly location at Exclusive Coffee (upstairs), a stone's throw from S & U Jannowitzbrücke station, and also at a more civil start time of 10.30am. The cafe also takes CARDS (hurrah!). We are going to be seated together at the big table on the 1st floor of the cafe.* As usual there will be two sessions of writing, each lasting 45 minutes, and two breaks. - The first writing session will start at 10:45 am. - Second session will start at 11:45 am. *Or if you prefer you can also sit at the smaller tables dotted around the big table, or at the long counter running the whole length of the massive windows with magnificient views of the Spree river, or the Chinese Embassy. (In summer they have a rotating vertical fan which works really well to keep the space nice & cool.) Unfortunately cafes in Berlin are getting less and less laptop-friendly, so please don't forget to order your drink or snack to support the cafe. When ordering you can also ask them for *free wifi code* should you require it. If you are new to the meetup, don't worry, just come and say hi to us. As well as the organiser we have many long-term regulars who will be more than happy to help you out and to make you feel welcome. We also have a Telegram chat: https://t.me/joinchat/ERW3pxD5kfELGeWs9SUhjw For more information, visit: https://shutupwrite.com So come along, grab a drink or snack, chat for 15 minutes, then shoosh & scribble. 😊

Join us for the first meeting of Investing Fundamentals Berlin, a new free community focused on real-world finance, investing, business analysis, and personal finance. This first session will be informal and beginner-friendly. We’ll introduce the group, discuss what people want to learn, and cover a simple question: **How do investors think about companies?** We’ll talk about the difference between analyzing a company as a customer, an employee, a public market investor, and a private equity investor. We may touch on business models, margins, growth, risk, debt, valuation, and what makes a company attractive or unattractive as an investment. No finance background is required. ALL AGES, students, professionals, founders, investors, and curious beginners are all welcome.

***New location - Motel One Alex is under renovation so we'll try out the Hackschermarkt location*** Writing can feel like a solitary experience, but it doesn't have to be! Writing in the company of others can be surprisingly inspiring, productive, and comforting. Writers of all types and levels are welcome. Whether you're writing a novel, a memoir, poetry, journaling, working on your thesis, or even catching up on emails, all are welcome. We do things a little differently on Monday evenings. We start with an introduction round, then we will do 45 minutes of writing, break and share how it went, and then dive into the next 45-minute session. **For space reasons, we are limited to a certain number of attendees, so please update your RSVP if you can't come**. In between sessions, we have a Telegram chat: [https://t.me/joinchat/ERW3pxD5kfELGeWs9SUhjw](https://t.me/joinchat/ERW3pxD5kfELGeWs9SUhjw) For more information, visit [https://shutupwrite.com](https://shutupwrite.com/).
