Hey all, I'm teaching a free introductory Aikido seminar in Berlin on August 9. Actually, I will do a whole series of them this year, one a month. In the past, members of this Slack have joined, so I thought I'd mention it here again. RSVP on .

Hey folks,
Like some of you, I'm a freelancer in Germany. Sometimes it's difficult to navigate between work, taxes, bills, and so on. This cooperative will explain their concept tomorrow in an online session. Basically, you can become part of the cooperative, get paid as if you were employed there, every month, but they will take care of everything else. I'm not sure if I fully understand it, which is why I will be attending the info call tomorrow. Maybe someone else is also interested in joining.
All the best!

Founder Institute Germany - Graduation Spring 2025 - Online & Offline

On June 27th, 2025, we will gather graduates, mentors, investors, friends and future founders to celebrate the newest Graduates of the Spring chapter of the Founder Institute Berlin / Germany. In addition to the Graduation Ceremony, guests will be treated to short business pitches from the graduates.

ATTENTION: We will run this event as a hybrid event with the possibility to attend on site in Berlin! We will charge a small cover charge for snacks & 1 drink for those joining us on site! Please make sure to book an in person ticket if you want to join us on site in Berlin!

Online & Offline Location: Online and physical location are shown in the online event page on Eventbrite, physical location is also shown in the confirmation if you purchase a ticket for the in person event.

We expect to see around 10 companies graduating from a wide array of topics ranging from bringing art back into your lives, a lifechanging solution to find the best cancer treatment, the best way to reuse fashion waste all the way to a platform that helps you extend your healthy lifespan! This is the last chance to see the Spring 2025 cohort in its entirety and the first chance to see them as graduated companies!

The startup accelerator is an extremely challenging program, and graduating is a significant achievement. In fact, less than 40% of applicants are accepted to the program, and less than 30% of those generally make it through. Being a Founder Institute Graduate Company is a seal of approval, signifying that company's founders, mission, model, and plans are being validated by experienced startup CEOs.

Who Should Attend?
Angel investors, early-stage venture capital firms, Founder Institute Mentors, Graduates, friends and family are all invited to attend. You are welcome to share this link with interested friends and colleagues. As we will announce opening of our next batch bound to start in March, entrepreneurs interested in founding a new company are also very welcome!
