START Berlin

💙 What a Night! @startalumni x START Berlin Summerparty 💙 Thank you to everyone who joined us last week for an unforgettable START Summer Party! It was incredible to see so many START faces—alumni and current members—come together for great conversations, delicious food, and a vibrant atmosphere. A special thank you to Atlantic Labs for generously hosting us in their amazing space. The view was truly spectacular! Bringing together old friends and new faces in such a stunning setting, we couldn’t have asked for a better way to celebrate summer with the START community. #STARTBerlin #STARTAlumni #AtlanticLabs #Community

✨ 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗽: 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗸 @edgeworkspaces A couple of weeks back we packed the room at EDGE Workspaces for an evening with two founders building something real, and our final promo event before Batch #10 applications closed. 🧠 Antonia Hill walked us through Lexora, her mission to support the 1.2B dyslexics worldwide with tools designed for how they actually learn. London team, King's College access, Cambridge University Press conversations in motion. Big vision, sharp execution. 💪 Jan Hecker brought @anivahealth to the stage with a line that landed: your body is your most valuable asset, yet you know the least about it. Aniva is here to change that. Huge thank you to @edgeworkspaces for hosting us in a space that genuinely matches the energy of the Berlin founder scene 🙌 And to everyone who showed up, asked the questions, and stayed for the after-hours, you're the reason these nights hit different. 📩 Applications for Batch #10 are now closed. The next cohort will be announced soon. Stay tuned.

The willingness to ship before it feels ready. ⚡ Future Leader Summit 2026 in Hamburg made that gap visible, and showed how fast it closes when the right people meet. 🚀 Two days of builders, not spectators. That is the standard START Berlin and @starthamburg are setting. 🔥 🙏 Thank you to @chef.treff for setting the frame and bringing this together. Proud of Julian Thißen, Carl Töfflinger, Rocco Krippendorff and Antonia Wittrin for showing up and showing what START energy actually looks like. 💬 For those who were there: what is the one conversation you are still thinking about?

From START Berlin to Superchat. Here's what the journey looked like. @springertogrow served as Head of Partnerships at START Berlin before making moves in the startup world. We sat down with him at the Superchat AI Agent Launch Hackathon and asked him one thing: what does START actually give you? His answer? The push to stop waiting and start owning your path. only 2 days left to apply to be part of the next chapter of START Berlin don't miss the chance : Link in bio
