Summer’s in full swing, and we’ve got another long weekend coming up 😍
But before we hit up Karneval der Kulturen and cross our fingers for weather like last weekend… it’s time for SuperReturn & SuperVenture — the one week where VCs and PEs actually have to go out and ask for money… and yes, they do it in style.

There are 75+ side events happening over just a few days, rooftop cocktails, LP breakfasts, dinners, and everything in between.

If you want access to our SuperReturn & SuperVenture Side Event Cheatlist, just drop a comment under [this LinkedIn post] — don’t be shy, it’s definitely worth it 😉

And of course, we’re hosting two exciting FOMO events again this year… more details coming soon.

And if money’s not your thing (for now) and you’re more of a builder, you have to check out the Builderklub Conference. I seriously can’t wait. More info below 👇
