betabreakfast

betabreakfast is our weekly breakfast tradition at betahaus | Kreuzberg connecting entrepreneurs, startups, creatives, and anyone interested in the Berlin startup scene. Sometimes it’s breakfast and sometimes it’s a pitch event. We’ve had tea tastings, panels, crypto meet ups, demos, and live performances from time to time, too. It’s the original breakfast event since +10 years connecting Berlin entrepreneurs, and the best way to break into the betahaus community. We’ll bring the croissants. You make the connections. Next up on betabreakfast:‍‍ 03.09.2026 - betabreakfast with The Berlin Innovation Fellowship — Ecosystem Connectors The Berlin Innovation Fellowship — Ecosystem Connectors is a GIZ & betahaus X initiative connecting founders and BSO leaders from Kyiv (Ukraine), Tirana (Albania), and Sarajevo (Bosnia & Herzegovina) with Berlin's innovation ecosystem for a 3-week immersive, self-managed soft-landing fellowship. 30 fellows in total across the cohort, based at betahaus X. The fellows pitching at this betabreakfast are here to connect, exchange, and learn — not to sell. Each pitch is an invitation into a conversation: what they're building, what brought them to Berlin, and what the community might help shape or connect them to. PITCHING FELLOWS Anima (Ukraine 🇺🇦, Kyiv): From self-awareness to performance: tracking mental wellness before it becomes a crisis. Anima is a mental wellness SaaS (web app) with an AI coach and neuroscience-based eye-tracking to assess mental states in real time—helping teams and individuals stay focused, productive, and resilient. KATALOGIM (Albania 🇦🇱, Tirana): Why is finding the right building material still so hard? Katalogim are an AI-powered ConTech marketplace for sourcing construction materials and services, seeking strategic partnerships with German material suppliers and BIM/digital procurement technology partners. ‍ 10.09.2026 - betabreakfast with Leokadija Springsguth: Strategic Canvas - from complexity to clarity Strategic Canvas is a facilitated strategy process that helps organizations clarify direction, align perspectives and translate complex strategic questions into a shared visual framework. While analysis explains the present, creativity shapes the future — which is why Strategic Canvas combines dialogue, visual thinking and “thinking with the pen” to make ideas visible and discussable. During the session, we will explore the method together and test it live on a business case. ‍ 17.09.2026 - betabreakfast with Anaita Azizi, Public Funding Expert: Navigating the Berlin Ecosystem: Resources, Funding Safetynets, and Networks for Solo Founders Running a business by yourself doesn't mean you have to build it in isolation. While traditional venture capital and heavy tech grants grab all the headlines, Berlin is home to a massive, hidden ecosystem of non-equity incubators, localized funding cushions, and powerful support networks tailored specifically for solopreneurs and solo creators. In this talk, Anaita will map out the practical resources available to help you scale your network (and hopefully runway) right here in the capital. ‍ 24.09.2026 - betabreakfast with Solveri: People and Team Culture are no longer a Luxury, they are the Key to Solving Complex Issues Team culture fit used to be a Luxury. Now it is the only true source of success. Tech Stacks and AI are not what build great solutions, people are. The hiring process of the past decade, especially in Software, is now completely turned on its head. The number of years on specific tech and skills was always a flawed metric, but it was the one people could reason about the easiest. And this flawed approach was "Good Enough". But it is not Good Enough anymore, and thus we have returned to the wild west of hiring yet again. ‍ (happening in Moritzplatz) 01.10.2026 - betabreakfast with Simon Kimmel - Project Lead Business Development Innovation Centers from Urban Tech Republic: An Airport-Sized Laboratory: How the Urban Tech Republic Is Growing Berlin's Testing Capacity Berlin's Deep Tech Ecosystem is thin on the one thing hardware needs most: space to test things in the real world. On the site of the former Tegel airport, an innovation district is being built where drone and automation technologies, new materials and urban systems are developed and tested in Urban Living Lab conditions with a huge potential for scaling and growth for our residents. You'll hear about where Urban Tech Republic stands today, what they are building next, and why they organise the site around technology clusters and their current 40 resident startups scaleups and companies. — this betabreakfast is happening at betahaus Moritzplatz ‍ 08.10.2026 - betabreakfast with The Berlin Innovation Fellowship — Ecosystem Connectors The Berlin Innovation Fellowship — Ecosystem Connectors is a GIZ & betahaus X initiative connecting founders and BSO leaders from Kyiv (Ukraine), Tirana (Albania), and Sarajevo (Bosnia & Herzegovina) with Berlin's innovation ecosystem for a 3-week immersive, self-managed soft-landing fellowship. 30 fellows in total across the cohort, based at betahaus X.

As a biologist, I see this as a crisis of disconnection - from our bodies and our planet - and, as an instructor, I believe scuba diving is a powerful tool to heal this gap. My goal is to share a simple truth: if you can learn to breathe and trust your body underwater - a place where you don’t naturally belong, yet find a way to keep yourself alive - you will remember how to do the same above the surface. ‍ 29.10.2026 - betabreakfast with Ivan Pavliuchenko, Co-founder of AREYES Studio (and co-founder of Founder2Founder) For years we treated AR as a new content format — like video or social. I think that's wrong: it's infrastructure. Drawing on a decade building immersive campaigns for brands like Meta, Ford, Red Bull, and Lego, I'll make the case that immersive tech is becoming the visual interface for AI — and what that means for anyone creating experiences worth paying attention to. 05.11.2026 - betabreakfast with K-Startups: Meet innovation coming from South Korea! For yet another year betahausX is hosting a Global Market Expansion Program providing Korean startups with market and ecosystem exploration in Berlin, Germany and Europe. This time we will welcome a delegation of 20 startups working across AI, mobility, sustainability, advanced materials, industrial technology, safety, and smart infrastructure. While the pitching lineup will be announced separately, all 20 startups will join us in person and be available for conversations and networking throughout the morning. Come by to discover new technologies, meet international founders, exchange ideas, and make new connections over breakfast. ‍ 12.11.2026 - betabreakfast with Maats More info to come ‍ 19.11.2026 - betabreakfast with Lara Schöning and Tobias Leßmann from WirBerlin: Environmental water protection in Berlin This talk will have the aim to raise awareness of water pollution and its causes: what sort of waste actually ends up in the Spree and other waterways, and where does it come from? What can each and every one of us do about it, and to which extent is WirBerlin committed to protecting our waterways. ‍ 26.11.2026 - betabreakfast with AsiaBerlin Summit More info to come ‍ 03.12.2026 - betabreakfast with Judith Sun More info to come See you at breakfast!
