Airbnb Community Meetup - Mergers & Acquisitions
Hallo Gastgeber:innen,
wir laden euch herzlich zu unserem nächsten Airbnb Community Meetup in Berlin ein!
Die Zeiten ändern sich – und genau das greifen wir bei diesem Treffen auf. Der Markt für Short-Term Rentals entwickelt sich zunehmend von einzelnen Apartments hin zu größeren, professionell geführten Strukturen.
Ihr habt abgestimmt – und wir folgen eurem Input: Dieses Mal widmen wir uns dem Thema Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) im STR-Bereich.
Gemeinsam wollen wir einen praxisnahen Blick darauf werfen, welche strategischen Optionen sich aktuell bieten – vom Verkauf einzelner Einheiten über den Aufbau von Portfolios bis hin zu Partnerschaften und Übernahmen.
Egal ob ihr bereits erste Erfahrungen gesammelt habt oder euch mit dem Thema erstmals beschäftigt: Dieses Meetup soll Orientierung geben, Perspektiven aufzeigen und Raum für ehrlichen Austausch schaffen.
Wie immer gilt: Von Gastgeber:innen für Gastgeber:innen – mit Fokus auf Austausch, Lernen und gegenseitige Unterstützung.
Wir freuen uns auf euch!
Ludger, Beatrice & Michael

Sometimes creators join us and share insights in lightning talks, and each time we all go home with new, interesting connections!

**Find your ideal startup co-founder in Berlin – structured matching, and an opportunity to join the SIBB Incubator**
**The hardest part of building a startup is finding the right people.**
**Great ideas often fail not because of the concept, but because the founding team doesn’t fit. Finding someone who shares your ambition, complements your skills, and is ready to build something meaningful is harder than it sounds.**
This event brings together founders with startup ideas and talented people looking to join a startup in a structured, data-driven matching format.
Organized by SIBB –Digital Association Berlin-Brandenburg, this evening combines curated co-founder matching sessions with open networking. The matching process is supported by TribeSquare, which helps identify the most relevant connections before the event.

**⚠️ Important: Entry is only possible until 19:00, as the structured matching sessions begin shortly afterwards.**
#### **💡 What you gain from the event**
• Meet potential co-founders who match your skills, interests and ambitions
• Discover promising startup ideas looking for the right team members
• Connect with ambitious builders from the Berlin startup ecosystem
• Participate in curated one-on-one conversations instead of random networking
• Learn about equity-free startup funding opportunities through the SIBB Incubator
#### **How the Matching Works**
1️⃣ Register on Eventbrite and select the ticket category that best fits your role.
2️⃣ After registration, you will receive a short matching questionnaire (powered by TribeSquare) via email in your ticket confimation. Your response is important to identify the most relevant connections for you.
3️⃣ Based on your answers, you will receive personalized matches at the event.
4️⃣ During the event, you will meet your matches in short one-on-one sessions, followed by open networking with all participants.
#### 🚀 Apply for the SIBB Incubator
