Startup Businesses

Connect with fellow founders and entrepreneurs at Electric Social, Berlin’s arcade bar. Enjoy a relaxed evening of networking, drinks, and classic games while sharing ideas and meeting new collaborators. Build connections — and maybe a few high scores.

As the title suggests, this is a **casual get-together** for the **[Tech in Berlin](https://www.techinberlin.com/)**[ ](https://www.techinberlin.com/)community — no talks, no slides, no agenda. Just conversations and connections with people who are building, learning, or curious about tech. Whether you're a founder, developer, product manager, designer, student, or just exploring the tech space in Berlin, you’re welcome to join. **What to expect:** * Relaxed, informal atmosphere * Opportunity to **make new connections** * Space to **vibe code together** (the café has great Wi-Fi) * Share what you’re working on and **get feedback or fresh perspectives** * Open conversations about tech, startups, ideas, or anything in between **No agenda. No pitches. No expectations.** Just show up, grab a drink, open your laptop (if you want). If you’re new to Berlin, new to tech, or just want to expand your circle — this is a good place to start.

Hi, This is Sagar here. This is my first ever group and just the second event. The point is: to come open-minded and look forward to meet some Berliners interested to learn, grow and build. Or help others to Learn, grow and build. As I said earlier, I am someone with an itch to get into entrepreneurship, but lacking the exact directions, and failing myself in some of the very basic things. I am sure there are many, sailing in the same ship. Building a business needs a bit of everything : Digital literacy, knowledge of the bureaucracy, taxation, network building, social media skills, Tech- aptitude, AI-competence and what not. Lets meet and find out who can help whom with what. At the end, there is nothing to lose. We all will make friends and learn a thing or two. Cheers.

Event description Join us for a founder roundtable at the La Moda Me meeting room in Berlin. This meetup brings together entrepreneurs, creators, and professionals who want to exchange ideas, discuss challenges, and support each other in building projects and businesses. During the evening everyone will briefly introduce themselves and share what they are working on. We will open the discussion for feedback, brainstorming, and networking around startups, AI, technology, and new business ideas. The goal is to create a relaxed and friendly space where people connect, learn from each other, and grow together. The event is free to attend. A bar is available at the venue where drinks can be purchased. Seats are limited, so please register in advance. If you register but cannot attend, please update your RSVP so others can take the spot.

Welcome to Sunday Tech Coffee. This is a **networking** event for those in the tech industry in Berlin. We are usually inside and to the right. Ask the barista/bartender if you can't find us.

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!\*\***
