found📍4 hours to build, win cash & meet SF AI community in Hamburg

Hamburg’s coolest startup and tech events, delivered to your inbox every Monday.

Editor’s Note

Hey, dear reader!

As we’re closing out 2025, I wanted to take a moment to show how grateful I am to each and every one of you. Whether you’ve been opening my emails every week, showing up to events we’ve highlighted, or sharing feedback on how to make this newsletter even better — you’ve been the heartbeat of this community.

And the numbers speak for themselves. Just look at how far we’ve come! I'm incredibly proud of what we've built together, and I'm even more excited about what next year will bring.

Rewind 2025

We’re ending this year on a high note!

This Thursday, we’re doing a get-together with our friends from 2hearts at a Christmas Market. Swing by for a cup of mulled wine and some chill convos with other folks from the community.

Then on Friday, we’re brining some SF vibes to Hamburg with our AI Hackathon. Expect insightful talks from our partners, cool prizes for the winners, and lots of fun!

On Saturday, kick off your weekend with Founders Running Club Xmas Run — bring your hat and that sweater your grandma knit for you 🎅 

Now, let’s dive in and see what else is cooking in Hamburg this week
