Hi Berliners! 👋

To be honest – I’m dead. Garbicz was a fever dream: wild, euphoric, unforgettable. If you survived it too, I salute you. Personally? I’m retiring from festivals… for at least a month 😵‍💫 But the energy doesn’t stop, and instead of watching Netflix at 7 PM with my fan on turbo mode, I’m here, writing you the #125 FOMO Berlin Newsletter, and yes… event number 70 in just 18 months is already on the runway.

Next up: Wednesday 13, 6 PM: FOMO Berlin × Business Punk Aperitivo Vol. 2 – The Second Home for Berlin’s Tech & Business Crowd 🍽 | Our dinner experience will be even bigger. Two shared dinner experiences, with 2 × 30 seats, double the conversations, double the serendipity. A handpicked after-work gathering for the sharpest minds across VC, tech, business, and the creative edge of Berlin.

It’s intimate, a little electric, and always full of unexpected collisions. One dinner. One encounter. One night that might just flip the script.

Because let’s be real – sometimes all it takes is one right person at exactly the right time.

Enjoy what’s left of this Berlin summer – and see you next week Wednesday.

Let’s say, I know some guys :) And we thought, let’s finally use the great FOMO Community and network.

So shorty about Saad, He built and scaled his own startup to Forbes U30 level and has since helped dozens of founders find the one growth lever that actually works. No fluff, just signal.
