Hi Berliners! 👋

We need to tell you something. FOMO Berlin × Business Punk are partnering up.

We’re launching something new, the FOMO Berlin x Business Punk Aperitivo, our curated afterwork series for Berlin’s sharpest minds in VC, tech, business, and culture.

No panels. No pitches. No pressure.
Just the right people, meaningful conversations, and a setting that makes you want to stay.

Occasionally, Berlin’s boldest show up and share wisdom you didn’t know you needed.

👀 The first edition takes place this Wednesday at 6 PM, at a new hidden gem in Mitte.
Proudly supported by Holvi – and a surprise partner we’re not naming yet.
But let's say this much: it has a lot of horsepower, and if you see it, you definitely want to take a photo of it 😏

Yes, we’re (basically) sold out. 🔥
Just opened a few more standard and investor spots. Join us while you still can.

📨 Stay subscribed to FOMO247 and keep an eye out for more exciting events and opportunities we’ve got in the works. Trust me—you won’t want to miss what’s coming next! 😉
