🌳 FOMO Munich: Munich Climate Week was a blast!| 27.10 - 02.11

Hey FOMO Munich 👋

FOMO and Qonto invite you to our Founder Christmas Dinner in Berlin on Tuesday, December 1st. Seventy founders. One long table. Three courses, candlelight. Black tie and evening gowns. Dressed for the occasion.

All year, everyone relied on you. Your team, your investors, your board. For one evening, the roles reverse. We handle everything. You take a seat.

Every guest personally curated. And yes, there will be a surprise. We don’t do ordinary. Get your spot.

We are back with another Founder x Investor Run in partnership with EWOR & 10xFounders. Get your spot now!
