Co-Working Session (Deep Work, all types of work welcome)
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**).
💻☕️ Cafe Coworking Crew – Weekly Wednesdays! ☕️💻
Tired of working solo from home? Craving good coffee and a dose of human connection while you tick off your to-do list? Join us for our **weekly coworking cafe session every Wednesday** – a casual space for remote workers, freelancers, creatives, and anyone who loves the idea of working together instead of alone. 🌿
***
**📍 Location:** Blumental ( https://maps.app.goo.gl/1g8XE4H954Scsqcz9 )
**🕙 Time:** 10:00 AM – 16:00 PM (Join when you can, leave when you must but if you want to sit with the group then please do come by 10:00 AM)
**🎯 Agenda:** Work side by side, get inspired, and share a few laughs (and maybe a croissant). Whether you're deep in focus or need a nudge to stay productive, you’ll be in good company.
***
**Why join?**
✔️ Stay motivated
✔️ Get sh\*t done
✔️ Make new connections
✔️ Share ideas, inspo, and mini brain breaks
✔️ Enjoy great coffee & cozy vibes ☕
There’s no rigid structure – just a friendly, respectful atmosphere to **work quietly**, **chat during breaks**, and build a rhythm together.
**💬 Notes & Community Vibe:**
🌈 This space is **LGBTQ+ friendly**, and we’re committed to creating a **safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment** for everyone – no matter your background, identity, or how you work.
🔁 This event happens **every Wednesday** – so if you miss one, no worries! You can always RSVP for the next.
👥 We’re trying to build a small, consistent **community**, so spots are **limited** to keep the vibe cozy and collaborative.
🔌 Bring a charged laptop – outlets may be limited
🍽️ Please support the cafe by ordering a drink or snack

12MIN.ME | BERLIN | STARTUP #1.3 🚀
**🚨🚨🚨 ATTENTION: we moved to luma. please RVSP [HERE](https://luma.com/12min.me_Berlin)🚨🚨🚨**
# [12min.me](https://12min.me/) START UP is a brand new morning format for bold ideas and fresh perspectives
Berlin Startup Community, we’re launching something new.
Together with betahaus, we’re bringing the [12min.me](http://12min.me/) spirit into the morning.
[12min.me](http://12min.me/) STARTUP is a three-part breakfast series, embedded in the well-known betabreakfast format.
Instead of three speakers in one evening, we do things differently.
One morning. One speaker. One focused impulse.
12 minutes. One voice. Zero fluff.
Join us for the first edition of [12min.me](http://12min.me/) STARTUP, a compact morning session for founders, operators, creatives and everyone building things that matter.
**✔️ What to expect**
* One inspiring startup-related talk
* 12 minutes of sharp insight
* Curated exchange over breakfast
* The familiar [12min.me](http://12min.me/) energy, just earlier in the day#
🚀 **The formula stays the same**
* 12 minutes talk
* 12 minutes of Q&A
* 12 minutes of networking
The familiar [12min.me](http://12min.me/) energy, just earlier in the day
**🎤 Our speakers**
**Speaker 1 @March 5**
**[Jonathan Hegel](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathan-beisiegel) from [FW Systems](https://www.linkedin.com/company/frachtwerk/)**
Jonathan is the CEO of FW Systems, a specialized system house for open source solutions and IT services with a fixed-price model. After years in traditional IT, where he regularly had to work night shifts due to emergencies, he decided to do things better—for customers and for IT professionals. Today, he help SMEs transform their IT from a constant work in progress to a reliable infrastructure they can depend on.
**Jonathan\`s talk: "How we are completely rethinking system administration as a service for your company"**
Companies cannot possibly do everything themselves. So things like accounting, logistics, and IT are outsourced to external service providers. In the IT sector, system houses have been doing very well for themselves in recent decades! Every little thing is charged for, and if there are any errors, the customer is expected to open a ticket. We are rethinking this! We are applying the “as-a-service” concept from Airbnb, Uber, and Everstox to system administration and taking responsibility. Jonathan will show how this works in his talk.
**Speaker 2 @March 12**
**[Anne Biedermann](https://www.linkedin.com/in/anne-biedermann/), independent wealth partner for women**
Anne has extensive experience across venture capital, single-family-office & HNWI investing, and early-stage operations. She works with investors who are building, inheriting, or stewarding wealth on how to allocate capital with clarity — particularly where venture capital intersects with long-term wealth strategy. Anne also invests personally, giving her a practitioner’s perspective on capital allocation decisions.
**Anna\`s talk: "Not All Capital Is the Same: Decoding Investor Behavior"**
Founders often assume all investors evaluate risk, timelines, and returns the same way and that assumption is costly. This session breaks down how funds, family offices, and individual investors actually make decisions, where founder–investor misalignment typically begins, and how founders can better position themselves for the right kind of capital, not just any capital.
**Speaker 3 @March 19**
**[Immo Ait Stapelfeld](https://www.linkedin.com/in/immoaitstapelfeld/), Co-Founder & CEO at [913.ai](https://913.ai)**
**"From Legal Complexity to Practical AI. How We Help Regulated Industries Use AI Without Losing Control"**
This presentation tells the story of Immo’s transition from a trained lawyer working in mass proceedings to an entrepreneur building AI products for regulated industries. His legal background, combined with hands-on experience as a founder, shaped a pragmatic view on AI. not as a disruptive replacement, but as a controlled and compliant tool. At[ ](http://913.ai)[913.ai](https://913.ai), this perspective enables conservative organizations such as insurers to enter the AI era in a way that respects regulation, responsibility, and existing teams while still unlocking real efficiency gains.

Productive Sunday Morning - Co-Working Session (Deep Work, all work welcome)
Hey everyone!
I’m organising a co-working + socialising session for all of us who like to work on something (e.g. our own project, freelance or remote work) but don't feel like sitting alone at home. 🙂
To ensure that we have both **socialising** AND **working**, we will be using the so called “Pomodoro” technique:
**50min of deep work** (silent), followed by **10min of break** to socialise. Then repeat! If you get into flow, you're also welcome to skip the breaks.
It’s an effective way to stay focused - you can read more about it [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique).
Anyone from any background is welcome, whatever project you are working on or whatever is your personal background.
I (the host) speak English and German, so either is fine :-)
——————————————————-
AGENDA:
* **15min Intro**
* Get to know everyone, talk about what you will work on today
* **Pomodoro Session** (3x) - *Each Pomodoro session consists* *of...*
* ...**50min** of uninterrupted “deep work” (no talking, no interruptions, no phones)
* ...**10min** of break: share your progress with others, talk about what you are stuck on etc.
* Repeat
* Conclude and celebrate your progress
Share your progress, socialise and get to know others 😊
————
We'll be at the Social Hub Berlin (they have a food menu in case you get hungry). The structured part will end at 2:30pm, but you're welcome to stay longer, go for lunch together, or leave earlier. See you there 🩵
**\*\*We'll reserve the long table. Please update your RSVP in advance if you can't attend!\*\***
