Startup Businesses

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

* *For English, please see below* Der Philosophische Stammtisch ist für alle, die gerne über das Leben philosophieren wollen ohne dabei zu verbissen den Fragen auf den Grund zu gehen. Wir wollen gemeinsam zu neuen Einsichten kommen und einen Raum schaffen für Menschen, die sich auf tieferer Ebene austauschen wollen. Die Fragen können von tiefen metaphysischen Fragen bis zu praktischen Lebensfragen reichen. Diese Veranstaltung soll gerade auch die ansprechen, die sich über solche Fragen Gedanken machen und sich austauschen wollen. Das hier ist kein politischer Diskurs. **Das Thema für diesen Abend** Wird bald bekannt gegeben. **For our English speaking members** We will have one table where the discussion is in English and you are welcome to join :) **Topic** Will be soon announced.

**Topic: The styles of mentoring** Are you an instructor, challenger, sponsor, or a coach? Do you think your mentees learn best with maximum autonomy, or do they need a maximum of guidance? Let's find out which styles of mentoring there are and how it helps to share knowledge. **What to Expect:** * A concise, 5-10 minute expert presentation introducing us to the nuances of the topic. * Engage in insightful discussions with fellow participants in breakout groups, exploring diverse experiences and practices. * Dive into prepared questions designed to challenge and expand your perspective on the topic. * A fantastic opportunity to network with like-minded professionals and enthusiasts passionate about software development and team building. *** **Broadening Our Discussions:** We explore a wide range of topics, including Extreme Programming (XP), agile management methods, lean theory, career management, programming katas, and other areas related to software development.
