Music: Chill Out · Afro House, Nu Jazz Strict Dress Code: Business Attire, Cocktail What CBC Stands For Our Code of Conduct We live in a time where attention is declining, trust is eroding, and success is often pursued at the expense of integrity. CBC exists to demonstrate the opposite. CBC is a space where business and ethics belong together — proving that success is possible without sacrificing humanity or values.

Important Rules The event is for connection and VibXchange. You may of course introduce yourself and explain what you do. Religion, politics and sexual topics are not discussed at CBC after-work events.

Jeden Monat gibt es mal zur Frühstückszeit und mal am Abend ein Netzwerkevent, bei dem sich Clubmitglieder und interessierte Unternehmerinnen aus Berlin-Reinickendorf und Umgebung treffen zum Austauschen und Kooperieren. Jeden Monat gibt es ein Expertinnen-Interview oder einen Impulsvortrag.

🚀 **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!

Chitta Walks is for people whose days move fast, while the mind never fully lands. Thoughts keep looping even when nothing is urgent. The body moves, but attention is elsewhere. Over time, this disconnect drains clarity and ease. This walk is a simple reset. We meet in Berlin’s Tiergarten and walk at a gentle pace. Parts of the walk are in silence, with light guidance and a few short prompts. The walk itself is the practice, bringing body and mind back into the same moment. No apps. No performance. Just a clear space to slow down and notice what is happening. If you want to slow down without withdrawing from life, join a Chitta Walk. ✨ **What to expect (approx. 90 minutes):** * A short arrival and orientation * A guided silent walk (phones off, no conversation) * One concise science-based impulse on attention or stress * Optional reflection in pairs or small groups * A simple takeaway or experiment for daily life 🚶**Who this is for:** * Professionals, creatives, and people in transition. * People who feel mentally busy and want more clarity and balance. * Those curious about mindfulness, but grounded and practical. * Anyone comfortable with silence and gentle self observation. 🔔 **Practical notes:** * Duration: 60-90 minutes * Wear comfortable shoes and weather-appropriate clothing * No prior experience needed * Group size is limited to keep the space quiet and focused 🧭 **Facilitator:** My name is Partha Sarathi, you can call me PS. I have lived in Berlin for over 12 years. With a background in physics and materials science, my interest in mindfulness grew through personal experience with stress and health challenges. I facilitate the space and structure of the walk, inviting shared exploration rather than instruction. 🤔 **Why Chitta Walks?** Chitta is a Sanskrit word referring to the mind or field of awareness, used here in a practical, non-religious sense. Chitta Walks is about noticing how the mind works by slowing down and walking together. Mindful walking makes thought patterns visible in real time, while moving and sensing in the world. The name points to a simple capacity: noticing what is happening in the mind without immediately trying to fix, judge, or optimize it. 🌿 **Possible effects:** A calmer nervous system. Clearer attention. A felt sense of being more present in your body. Subtle insights into how your mind reacts under everyday conditions. A quieter, more grounded way of moving through the city. **Come as you are. Walk. Notice. Leave with a little more space inside.**

**The Behavior Gap: Where Products Win or Lose** Teams today have more data than ever, and yet many still struggle to understand why customers adopt, engage with, or abandon their products. Teams sprint, ship faster, and chase more signals… all while metrics stall and confidence drops. The missing piece isn’t more data. It’s often the behavioral insight between the metrics, explaining why the numbers move in the first place. Dashboards can tell you what customers did, but understanding why they did it (and how to influence what they do next) requires a deeper blend of insights. This session is about closing that gap. Drawing from real-world experience designing and scaling products as [ZoCo Design](https://zocodesign.com/)’s CEO, [Lacey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) will share how to cut through the noise and identify the insights that actually change behavior—moving people, and moving metrics. You’ll learn: * Why understanding customer behavior is a quant and qual challenge * How to spot the signals that actually predict behavior change * Where AI accelerates insight, and where it creates distraction * How to get meaningfully closer to customers, without adding more tools This talk reframes how to evaluate performance and identify what levers actually improve it, helping your team to make smarter bets with greater confidence. Every meaningful outcome is driven by behavior change. And when you know how to design for behavior, you stop guessing, and start building things that work. **About Our Speaker** [Lacey Picazo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) is the Founder and CEO of ZoCo, a healthcare product studio that turns complex, high-stakes ideas into products that drive real-world adoption. She partners with healthcare organizations to uncover critical care delivery insights, focus product strategy through behavior design, and build solutions that patients and providers actually use.
