Hi Berliners,

Berlin auf die 1. At FOMO Berlin, our goal is simple: make Berlin more connected and the number one city in Europe for founders, investors, and operators.

That’s why we’re proudly supporting the Berlin auf die 1 campaign and the invite-only “Berlin auf die 1” gathering — bringing together the people shaping what’s next for the city.

The evening features candid conversations with founders building at scale from Berlin, including Daniel Khachab (Choco), Jan Oberhauser (n8n), Marius Meiners (peec), and Julian Teicke (The Delta), followed by a VC discussion with Filip Dames (Cherry), Florian Heinemann (Project A), and Dr. Gesa Miczaika (Auxxo).

We’ve opened 10 additional guestlist spots for extraordinary founders, investors, and operators with bold ideas and the ambition to make Berlin Europe’s leading startup hub.

If you believe in Berlin, this is your entry point.

If you are in Cape Town, join our FOMO Cape Town WhatsApp Group.

🚨 PS: For an upcoming FOMO x Gründerszene column, we’re planning conversations with NGO founders and people creating real impact in Cape Town. While the startup scene spends winter months in CPT, the city faces real challenges. We want to shift the lens and listen to the people doing the work on the ground.

If you’re building impact in Cape Town, or know someone who is, we’d love to hear from you.

And if you’re the type who likes an unfair advantage, plan your event schedule smarter with FOMO Berlin Insider.
