Hi Berliners 🍾
Another long weekend done 😎 Before all eyes turn to SuperReturn & SuperVenture Week in two weeks, we’re heading to Munich for two events: tonight, an Off the Record Late Stage Founder Dinner with Re, tomorrow a padel tournament at Padel City Englischer Garten.
And yes — we did it again. Our annual SuperReturn & SuperVenture side-event cheatlist is officially live, featuring 50+ handpicked events across Berlin. Think: a Prince Charles takeover, a 150+ person Super Aperitivo in a gallery, BAD1 Conference, 5+ LP dinners, and a lot more.
Comment on the post + tag a friend who still hasn’t subscribed to FOMO Berlin, and we’ll DM you the full SuperVenture cheatlist🚀. → Comment here
