Deck Building Games Berlin

Asian Builders in Berlin — From 0 to 1

**Starting up in Berlin as an Asian builder brings unique challenges: navigating an unfamiliar landscape, finding early adopters, and building a local network from scratch.** **From 0 to 1** is an evening for Asian founders, builders, and aspiring entrepreneurs who are figuring out those questions. ​We'll hear from Asian founders at very different stages of their journey to unpack what it really takes to build in Germany. ​**🎤 Meet the speakers** ​**Karl Villanueva — Co-Founder, Ostrom** Karl started Ostrom in 2021 from nothing. Five years later, the company has grown into a venture-backed energy startup and raised its Series B. ​He'll share what the journey from those very first days to building and scaling a company actually looked like, including the decisions, challenges, and lessons along the way. ​**Xiaoheng Chen — Co-Founder, [mloda.ai](https://mloda.ai/?utm_source=luma)** Xiaoheng spent years as a scientist and researcher before making the leap into entrepreneurship. She and her co-founder started [mloda.ai](https://mloda.ai/?utm_source=luma) just seven months ago. Today, they already have a product and a few pilot projects underway. ​She'll share what it's like to be in the early days right now, figuring out the product, finding early users, and turning an idea into something real. **Abhishekkumar Rai (Abhi) — Founder & CPTO, Aerolead** Abhi has 15+ years experience across fintech, e-commerce, and healthtech, and decided to start a company in aviation, exploring a problem shaped by legacy systems. ​He’ll share what it means to build as a solo technical founder: finding the right problem through customer discovery, navigating a complex and regulated industry, and working toward a first pilot when the people who feel the pain are not always the people who can buy the solution. Together, their stories offer three perspectives on the same journey: **from finding a problem worth solving, to building an early product, to scaling a company beyond its first stage.** ​💡 **What we'll talk about** * ​How do you decide what is worth building? * ​How do you get your first customers, partners, or pilot projects? * ​How do you build a network when you're starting out in a new environment? * ​What does the first year actually look like? * ​What changes as a startup moves from its earliest days to the next stage? * ​What do you wish you had known when you were at 0? ​Come with your questions, your half-formed ideas, or simply curiosity about what it takes to start. ​🗓 **What happens** ​**18:00 — Grab a drink & settle in** ​**18:30 — Panel: From 0 to 1: How Asian Builders Start** ​**19:30 — Drinks & open conversations** ​**21:00 — See you next time** ​🌏 **Who it's for** ​Asian founders, engineers, product managers, researchers, operators, investors, and aspiring builders in Berlin. ​You might already be building something. You might have an idea you've been thinking about for months. Or you might simply be curious about entrepreneurship and wondering whether it's for you. ​**You don't need to have it figured out. That's the point.** ​📸 **A few quick notes** ​**Photos:** We'll take a few photos during the event for community posts. Let us know at check-in if you'd prefer not to be photographed. ​🌱 **Stay in the loop** ​Follow **Asian Builders in Berlin** for future events, meetups, and community stories.

Blood on the Clocktower in Mitte (advanced level)

**New to the game? Please join our beginner-friendly Sunday event instead!** Hi folks, this is a special meetup group for the regular Blood on the Clocktower games every Tuesday in Berlin Mitte. This event is aimed at players who are already very familiar with Clocktower - if you have dozens of games under your belt and are excited to play custom scripts with other seasoned players, this is the event for you! Our group aims to provide a fun and welcoming space to experience this thrilling game of social deception. **We focus on promoting a positive and fun group atmosphere, where players don’t take themselves or the game too seriously, whether they’re heroically winning or spectacularly losing.** Our players follow the code of conduct for the Berlin Board Gamers group and are expected to treat each other with respect and consideration – “killing with grace, and dying with dignity”. If you are marked as "going" in Meetup and are in your seat at 19:00, your place is guaranteed. All other seats are first come, first served. There is a €3 entrance fee per person to cover the cost of hiring the venue, payable in cash. We play in English so players should be able to understand and express themselves in English: an exception is possible for one pair of players willing to play together (as a “Revolutionary” pair) where one player can interpret into and out of English. Please let us know in advance if this is the case.
