Absolutely.** This is a casual get-together and nothing you need to prepare for, just come along. **Got something you'd like feedback on?

He helps challenge assumptions, uncover the core of a problem and turn complex situations into practical next steps. Together, we help entrepreneurs challenge their thinking and make better decisions when the answer isn't obvious. **What can you bring?** Anything that's genuinely on your mind right now, for example: \*a difficult business decision * growth or positioning \*leadership or team challenges * priorities and focus \*a situation where you're going in circles Want to put your own challenge to the test? Let us know when you join the event. Or simply come along, contribute your perspective and see how other entrepreneurs approach difficult decisions. **The Mission** 18:30 \| DOORS OPEN & ARRIVAL Come in, meet the room and get to know who’s around. **19:00 \| START: MISSION BRIEFING** We set the scene, explain the format and get ready to put the first challenge to the test. 19:10 \| LIVE CASES \- CHALLENGE SPARRING Selected participants bring their challenge into the room and we investigate together, have conversations and make new connections. 21:00 \| Closing round and \(more\) open networking\, if you feel like it\.

From Lab to 1.2M: How a Neuroscientist Raised Her First Round in Berlin

Thu, Oct 15, 4:00 PM

From 🚀 Berlin Digital Business Network @SIBB 🦄

4.2

Is more AI needed? These founders are building an AI that companies can trust. Meet Angelina Lesnikova and ask her all your questions. ### The AI market is loud, crowded and full of demos nobody buys. Angelina Lesnikova and her team went the opposite way: into biopharma, where a single hallucinated fact can cost millions and where nobody gets to say “the model made it up.” They built a framework that makes hallucinations impossible to hide — and raised **1.2 million euros** doing it. Behind that round: ten months of hands-on support in the **SIBB Incubator**, where Angelina went from scientist to fundable founder. Ask her how you find a market that pays instead of one that applauds. #### What you will learn * How to **start a company** with a **scientific background** * How to **create true value** in the **booming** market of **AI solutions** * How to **convince investors** and **manage a financing round** in AI This event is brought to you by **SIBB Incubator**, who supports founders building the future of cybersecurity, trustworthy AI, and deep tech. #### Speaker **Angelina Lesnikova – *Co-founder at sci2sci*** * **Former neuroscientist** turned **AI founder** * Works on **data management** and **AI** for **biotech** and **pharma** * Passionate about **data-first approaches** and **AI for data** ***Moderated by: Etta Dannemann in her role as head coach.*** Etta Dannemann moderates the event in her role as Startup Coach at the SIBB Incubator. As a solopreneur, trainer, and architect by education, she loves creating new things — but even more, supporting others as they build and grow. Etta is passionate about empowering women in tech, helping them turn their ideas into action and leave their unique mark on the world. #### Who is this event for * **AI** Founders * **Scientific** Founders * **Biotech** and **Pharma**-Founders * **Female** and **Diverse** Founders * Founders **raising a round** We look forward to seeing you!

**AWS Women’s User Group Berlin presents an interactive, hands-on workshop hosted at the AWS Berlin Office!** AI-assisted software development is transforming how we build applications.

Cybersecurity × AI: Berlin's Builders, Breakers & Backers #5

Wed, Oct 14, 5:00 PM

From Startups.Berlin

4.4

AI has changed both sides of the security equation at once. Attackers are automating reconnaissance, phishing, and exploit development at a scale that didn't exist two years ago. Defenders are shipping agents that triage alerts, patch code, and hunt threats faster than any SOC team could. And an entirely new attack surface — the models themselves — is being built into products before anyone has agreed on how to secure it. Berlin has quietly become one of Europe's densest clusters of people working on exactly this problem: security founders, ML engineers, red teamers, CISOs, researchers, and the investors funding them. This meetup is an attempt to get them in one room. **⚠️ Attendance is limited and by application only** To be considered, apply here: [https://luma.com/ak9geyg6](https://luma.com/ak9geyg6) We're capping this event at **10 people**. The reason is deliberate: we'd rather have a room where everyone present is actually working in this space than a large room where most people are browsing. Smaller rooms mean better conversations and a much higher chance you meet the two or three people who matter for what you're building. The form takes about two minutes. We'll ask for: * Your name and where you work * What you're building, investing in, or researching * Your role (founder / engineer / security lead / investor / researcher / other) * What you're hoping to get out of the evening We review applications on a rolling basis and confirm attendees by email. Applying early genuinely helps — once we're at capacity we close the list. If you're not selected this time, you'll be first in line for the next one. **What to expect** * [2–3 short talks] from founders and practitioners building at the intersection — offensive AI, AI-native defense tooling, securing LLM applications, compliance under the EU AI Act * An open Q&A where hard questions are welcome * Long-form networking **Who we're looking for** Founders (pre-idea to Series B), security engineers and researchers, red teamers, CISOs and security leads, VCs and angels active in the space, and serious people looking to move into it.

How to Build AI Products for a Changing Market

Tue, Oct 20, 4:00 PM

From Grammarly Tech Talks

4.7

Every bet you make in AI has a shelf life measured in months, not years. What you’re right about today, you may have to rethink by next quarter. For our **first community meetup at [Superhuman](https://superhuman.com/)'s new Berlin hub at Das Center**, we’re excited to welcome Ailian Gan, Head of Agents at Superhuman, to share what she’s learned from building AI products in a market that keeps changing. **✅ To attend the event**, please **register** **on Luma**: https://luma.com/uiiujjn1 💬 **About the talk** Building AI products means getting comfortable with change. New capabilities emerge, user expectations shift, and the assumptions behind your roadmap don’t stay true for long. Superhuman knows this firsthand. The company has grown from Grammarly’s AI writing assistant into a multi-product suite of apps and agents for productivity—all in a market that continues to evolve. Drawing on her experience building AI products at Superhuman, Ailian will share how she thinks about **spotting emerging user needs, deciding when to build before the opportunity is obvious, and using what you learn after launch to decide what comes next.** It’s about learning to build this way on purpose—making product decisions when the signals are incomplete, opinions compete, and understanding that what works today may not work tomorrow. 🎙️ **About the speaker:** **[Ailian Gan](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ailiangan/?utm_source=luma)** i*s Head of Agents at Superhuman. She leads teams building proactive AI agents that work across millions of apps and websites, helping people write, plan, research, organize, and move work forward. Ailian has deep product experience building AI-powered products for communication and productivity. She is also a founding board member of Women Defining AI, a nonprofit focused on closing the gender gap in AI through community-based learning. Originally from Singapore, Ailian spent more than a decade in Silicon Valley before recently relocating to Berlin.* ⏱️ **Agenda** **18:00–18:30** — Doors open \| Drinks and light bites **18:30–19:30** — Talk and Q&A with Ailian Gan **19:30–20:30** — Food, drinks, and networking 👋 **Registration and attendance** This meetup is designed for **experienced product managers, engineers, and engineering leaders interested in building AI products** in a fast-changing market. Capacity is limited, and confirmations will be prioritized for professionals with relevant experience in this area. **✅ To attend the event**, please **register** **on Luma**: https://luma.com/uiiujjn1 Please note that **only guests with a confirmed Luma registration will be admitted**. Due to limited capacity, we won’t be able to accommodate attendees who haven't registered. 📍 **Location** We’ll meet at Superhuman’s new Berlin hub at Das Center, Potsdamer Platz. Once a cinema in the former Sony Center, the space has been transformed into a modern hub for AI development. It’s also opening its doors for meetups and events, bringing people from Berlin’s tech community together to exchange ideas and connect.
