FOMO Munich: FOMO x HubSpot: Orange Founder Dinner — June 23 | 16.06 - 22.06

Hey FOMO Munich 👋

The FOMO Berlin Super Week is finally over. And I’m still recovering. 3,000+ RSVPs. 1,000+ attendees. 4 events. One week that somehow felt like a month. Sorry Munich, but Berlin has been busy.

We kicked things off with a curated dinner for 50+ GPs, LPs, and founders at Coco Boule, followed by The Edge — our afterparty with Backed VC and Carta at Prince Charles. Investors dancing around a pool. Berlin at its best.

Wednesday brought our second Super Aperitivo at Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery, together with Norrsken, PT1, Carbon Equity, and Heliad. Great people, incredible art, live performances, and stunning food installation. Find more here 👈.

We closed the week at BAD1, where I had the privilege of MCing the conference, stepping onto the stage right before Al Gore and welcoming more than 10 unicorn founders to the stage in front of 500 founders and investors — before ending the week with our FOMO x BAD1 rooftop afterparty.

FOMO stopped being "just" a newsletter a long time ago. We're building the infrastructure that helps great people find each other — founders finding investors, startups hiring exceptional talent, investors discovering opportunities, and operators opening doors. Because every investment, hire, customer, and partnership starts with a conversation.
