Servus Munich! 👋

Is anyone else already counting down to next week’s holidays? 😍 I genuinely can’t wait to slow down a little, reflect on the past year, and start sketching out what 2026 looks like for FOMO. But before we drift too far ahead, let’s stay in the moment for a second.

Over the past 5 days, we hosted two paid events with close to 200 guests, and the energy was nothing short of magical. It’s honestly hard to put into words what it feels like when 100 operators, investors, and founders suddenly start singing Christmas songs together or when you realise you’re somehow responsible for 90 dinner courses on a Saturday night and connecting strangers within their own homes. What could possibly go wrong, right? 😅 Check out our Insta for more content: fomoberlin247.

Big thank you to Brand Partners for their fantastic presents. Check them out if you're still looking for a Christmas present: Conflict Food, ⁠⁠Etuk, ⁠⁠Faible & Failure, Kruut, ⁠⁠Nano Kaffee, Oyl Foods, Float Studio, The Pickle Company, Slows, Stella and Soul, Chalo, BNVC, Nghty Berlin, Trautmann, Vom Einfachen das Gute, and Nima Alwina.

You wonder, how I get eveything done with a one-man team, check out some of my top AI tools for that do the heavy lifting: AI Toolbox.
