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

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 is AI changing the world beyond software?

How is AI changing the world beyond software?

Thu, Oct 22, 4:30 PM
From On Product
4.7

After a too long break, it's time to get together again. And the next meetup topic is: **"How is AI changing the world beyond software?"** We, *software* product builders, deal with AI every day in our product work. We can imagine where things are heading in the our *software* building world, but what about the rest of the world? Healthcare, education, logistics, the arts? What's actually shifting out there? To keep it real, I'd love each of you to bring a guest who does NOT work in tech or software. A teacher, a doctor, an architect, a chef... anyone with a perspective from outside our bubble. More details coming soon. Looking forward to seeing you all again!
