Weebzclub investor's meetup
Good day,
Let me introduce myself first. My name is Adin (nickname). I am originally from Bangladesh and a German citizen. I spent half of my life here in Berlin and my childhood in my native country. I grew up being passionate with the Japanese Otaku subculture which was at its peak point during late 90's in all of Asia. Comics, anime and arcade games defined my childhood. Lately, I have rediscovered my passion for this area and the modern form Otaku subculture is again at its peak. So, I have recently created Weebzclub - https://www.weebzclub.com.
My idea is to create a space for those who are interested in these topics and would like to find like-minded people. So, the primary idea is to have a space to create the club and arrange events in our own private space, gather some artworks, anime, manga and arcade games.
With sufficient investment, my idea is to have a large space with a cafe, personalized anime movie theater, gaming zone, manga comic book store and an art gallery.
The meetup will take place at Einstein Kaffee at Budapester Strasse, Berlin Zoologischer Garten (at the opposite side of Europa center). Give me a call if you have any difficulty to find the place +49 176 8874 3055.
I look forward to meet you.
Co-Work & Escape Room | Guided Productivity Sprints + Escape Room
**Deep work by day. Escape room after work. 🗝️**
**Co-Work & is for people who want to actually get meaningful work done without working alone. The day is built around structured focus sessions and practical productivity methods like Pomodoro 🍅, Eat the Frog, guided work sprints, and accountability check-ins to help you move real projects forward.**
**Each edition of Co-Work & ends with a different activity. Something fun and slightly outside your usual routine. This time, after a full day of focused work, we will head to an Escape Room 🧩 and try to solve our way out together.**
**And because the people around you matter just as much as the work itself, the day also includes intentional networking moments designed to help you connect with the right people. This could mean exchanging ideas, finding collaborators, or simply meeting others who are building something meaningful.**
**👉 The 5€ ticket covers the co-work session only. Coffee and lunch are not included and will be paid individually at the location.**
**👉 The evening Escape Room activity is optional and paid separately. The price will be approximately 15–25€ per person.**
**If fewer than 4 people join the activity, we will not be able to run the escape room. The co-working day will still happen as usual.**
***
**💸 What your 5€ ticket includes**
**• Guided productivity sprints**
**• Accountability that helps you stay on track**
**• A focused space away from home distractions**

***
**🧠 How the Day Works**
**We use structured focus blocks and practical productivity techniques to help you drop into deep work and maintain momentum throughout the day.**
**The format includes:**
**• Clear intentions at the start**
**• Timed focus sprints**
**• Shared breaks**
**• Intentional networking moments**
**• End-of-day reflections**
**We work until 17:00 so you have a full, intentional workday to move something meaningful forward.**

**16:30–17:00 – Reflections & small wins**
**What moved? What shifted?**
***
**🔐 Evening: Escape Room**

**This part is about:**
**• Collaborating under pressure**
**• Solving challenges together**
**• Connecting beyond job titles**
**• Ending the day with something fun and memorable**
**The escape room will be booked once we know how many people want to join, and the cost will be split among participants (approximately 15–25€ per person).**
**The final location will be shared with participants before the event.**
***

🎨 Event Preparation: Get Your AI Ready!
To make the most of our time together, please ensure you have your favorite AI tools set up and ready to go before the event begins.

* Self-sufficiency: Everyone is responsible for their own account and subscription (if a paid plan is required).
* No Tutorials: This is an active creation session, not a training workshop. Please ensure you already know how to navigate your chosen app.
* Pre-installation: Please have your apps downloaded and your logins tested. We won’t have time for tech support or "how-to-download" guides during the event!
🔍 What are these tools?
If you are new to these names, here is the "simple version" of two of our top recommendations:
* Freepik: All-in-one AI image and video production, speed, and asset accessibility.
* Higgsfield: operates as a versatile, all-in-one creative platform, excelling in high-quality image generation, extensive asset libraries, and rapid, high-volume production.
🚀 Further Recommended Generators:
* Gemini: Excellent for quick image generation (Free plan allows \~20 images/day; currently no video).
* Google Veo 3: Google’s latest high-end cinematic video model.
* Kling: Famous for highly realistic human motion and physics.
* Hailuo / Wan: Cutting-edge models for fast, high-quality social clips.
* OpenAI Sora 2: The "gold standard" for complex scenes. (Note: Availability on Freepik)

Kreativer Spieleabend (auf Deutsch)
In unserem ersten Event testen wir ein neues, noch nicht erhältliches Spiel aus, das eure Kreativität und Spontaneität fordert! Ähnlich wie "Cards against Humanity" oder "Tabu" ist es spitzbübig, manchmal etwas schnippig, und definitiv lustig!
Wer gut Dinge mit wenig Vokabular erklären kann, ist hier richtig.
Da das Spiel noch nicht offiziell auf dem Markt ist, müsstet ihr ein Non-Disclosure Agreement unterschreiben (Name, Unterschrift) und nach dem Spiel ehrliches Feedback geben (5 Fragen), wie ihr es fandet.
Snacks und Drinks gibt es auf 's Haus :).
Eine tolle Möglichkeit, neue Leute kennenzulernen, outside the box zu denken, und zu etwas Neuem beizutragen,
Maximale Teilnehmerzahl sind 6 Personen.
\*\*\*Die Adrtesse erfolgt nachdem ihr eure Teilnahme zugesagt habt, da die Teilnehmerzahl begrenzt ist.

From Web Forms to Web Components - Burton Smith
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
**Abstract**
Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively.
This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way.

Recruiting Virtual Mental Health Group Leaders!
We are recruiting new group leaders for virtual men's groups! Our primary groups are outdoor movement groups, but we are launching virtual groups for the state of Ohio and beyond and the groups will move outside in the spring, creating room for men's groups, women's groups and coed groups all over the country.
Read below to learn about our groups and click the links at the bottom to apply.
### **What is an Outdoor Empowerment Group?**
Our Outdoor Movement & Community Empowerment Groups are simple, guided experiences designed to help people reconnect with nature, themselves, and others. We combine some form of movement (hike, walk, run, bike, yoga, workout) and meaningful conversation within a simple community circle to create a space where individuals can support each other while prioritizing mental and physical well-being.
Whether you’re seeking stress relief, personal growth, or community, our groups offer everyone a unique and welcoming environment.
## **Why Join?**
* **Improve Mental & Physical Well-Being** – Movement, nature, and supportive conversations reduce stress and promote balance.
* **Feel Less Alone** – Build genuine connections with like-minded people in a safe, welcoming space.
* **Gain Clarity & Perspective** – Step outside daily routines and into a space designed for personal growth and reflection.
## **The Ideal Group Leader**
The ideal group leader
* Has a born-in passion for mental health, movement, connecting with nature and building community.
* Has 5 extra hours per week to dedicate to a meaningful cause for at least one year. Yes, you can leave any organization at any time and we can also ask you to leave, but we are building with legacy in mind and we need people who can commit and be ALL IN on this mission to build with us.
* Is independently financially stable with the ability to volunteer with no expectation of pay. This is a deeply beautiful journey of service that all participants commit to at Speak Your Mind.
* An ability to manage groups with high emotional intelligence and desire for human connection.
* An ability to self-motivate and market/promote their group on Facebook and other social platforms.
* Nature informed therapy or clinical therapists/psychologists a plus.
## **Our Impact**

Since launching, we have helped thousands find support, connection, and healing through our Outdoor Movement Groups. 100% of participants surveyed have reported:
* A noticeable improvement in mental clarity and emotional well-being.
* An increase in social connection and a sense of belonging.
* Said they would return again.
We believe mental health should be accessible, community-driven, and rooted in nature. Join us and take the first step toward a more connected, grounded, and supported version of yourself.
### **Why Our Groups are Donation-Based**
Our Outdoor Movement Groups are made possible through a donation-based model. This approach allows us to keep our events accessible to everyone, regardless of financial circumstances, while also ensuring that we can continue expanding our reach. It’s a great way to pay it forward and support the growth of this beautiful mission!
Every contribution helps us:
* **Cover Essential Costs** – Donations allow us to pay essential legal, marketing, insurance, and admin costs as well as nourish the important people who run the organization.
* **Grow Our Mission** – With your support, we can bring these healing experiences to thousands more people in the future and execute our long term plan to expand across the USA, affecting up to 500,000 people per year.
By choosing to contribute, you’re not just leading an event—you’re helping build a mental health movement that supports long-term well-being and connection for all during a severe mental health epidemic.
