Sponsor: HTGF Family Day – This is where the season kicks off 🔥

Conference season is here, and May is stacked — with HTGF Family Day, Greentech Festival, GITEX Europe, and the German Startup Awards all coming up fast. This is exactly why FOMO Insider exists — so you know what’s happening before the RSVPs close and the guest lists are full.

One event you definitely don’t want to miss? HTGF Family Day, happening next week at STATION Berlin. It all starts with an invite-only networking night — investors, HTGF portfolio founders, corporates, the whole ecosystem in one room. The next day? Back-to-back startup pitches, keynotes, and panels with names like Gesa Miczaika (Auxxo), Alex Agureev (Northzone), and Carsten Maschmeyer.

The agenda dives into the big stuff: venture clienting, strategic investing in uncertain times, and how startups and corporates can grow together. Expect deep dives into Europe’s innovation edge, smart capital allocation, and the chance to meet some of HTGF’s top portfolio startups showcasing real tech on stage and on the exhibition floor.

This is the event that sets the tone for the season. Be there — or risk serious FOMO.
