found📍Hamburg 07.07-13.07

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

Editor’s Note

Hey, dear reader!

Last Saturday, we celebrated 1st anniversary of Founders Running Club Hamburg. And we did it fabulously! We had a cozy party at our local coffee shop with birthday cake, funky music, and the most amazing community of founders and runners 🏃 Thanks to everyone who joined us for this memorable day!


we even sang “Happy Birthday” - a perfect party :)

I think we all agree that building a startup in Germany is not easy – endless bureaucracy, scarce funding, lack of networking, and so on. But it’s in our hands to change that.

Take part in a survey by the German Startup Monitor to spotlight real challenges you encounter! Your insights could directly influence policies that affect all startups in Germany.

Let’s see if a founder’s life can become a bit easier.
