Hey FOMO Munich 👋

Still recovering from Super Week. The calendar, apparently, did not get the memo.

Last week we hosted a Fundraising Salon with RSM Ebner Stolz. Thirty seats. Founders raising. Investors deploying. The kind of room where term sheets get conceptualized over wine — no panels, no keynotes, just the right people at the right table. That's the FOMO format at its most precise.

Next week, we're back on stage. I'll be speaking at the Business Creator Summit in Berlin and the RuhrSummit in Bochum, sharing what it actually looks like to build something like FOMO from the ground up. The real story. The hard parts too.

And we're not done yet. Two sports events for founders and investors are coming — built for the kind of people who close deals in person and don't need a slide deck to connect. Details below 👇

FOMO stopped being "just" a newsletter a long time ago. We're building the infrastructure that connects great people, founders finding investors, startups hiring talent, operators opening doors. Because every investment, hire, and partnership starts with a conversation.
