Weekly Pool Event for Startup Founders in Berlin
If you’re a B2C and B2B startup founder in Berlin looking for a break from the daily startup hustle, Flock has the perfect experience for you! Introducing our weekly pool experience for startup founders. This Flock experience is designed to combine relaxation with valuable networking opportunities. Whether you are heads-down in building your startup or just about to start your startup journey, this experience in Berlin offers a refreshing change of pace and a fantastic opportunity to meet with fellow entrepreneurs.
The Challenge of Breaking into Networks as a New startup Founder
For new startup founders in Berlin, especially those who are new to the startup scene in the city, breaking into startup networks can be challenging. Often it takes away your focus from building your product. Here’s why it can be challenging:
1. New to the game: First-time startup founders often don’t have the network that more experienced entrepreneurs have built over the years.
2. Overwhelming Events: Many traditional startup events can be overwhelming, with large crowds and a focus on pitching rather than connecting. For first-time founders, this makes it hard to stand out as they are surrounded by 2x, and 3x founders.
3. Time Constraints: Are you working on your startup or networking? Often doing both is not possible.
4. It’s Berlin: Berlin appears to be a global startup hub, attracting founders from all over the world. But under the shiny marketing, lies the language and cultural differences that can make startup networking even more challenging.
Why Attend Flock’s Weekly Pool Event for Founders?
The Flock team has designed the weekly Sunday pool event with the above challenges in mind. The Flock team created a startup experience where first-time and veteran founders can connect in a more relaxed, fun, and welcoming environment. Here’s why this experience is a great opportunity for all founders:
1. No Pressure: Unlike other networking events, this pool (billiard) gathering is relaxed and informal. It’s all about connecting with fellow startup founders without the pressure of making a pitch or selling your startup. Just enjoy the games of pool (billiard) converse and let serendipity happen.
2. Flock is Inclusive: Whether you’re new to Berlin or the startup scene, you’ll find a supportive Flock community of like-minded entrepreneurs, whether it’s B2C, B2B, or B2B2C. This Flock experience is inclusive, making it easier for first-time founders to break into networks and start building relationships.
3. Flock is Consistent: As this event is held every week, you’ll have regular opportunities to connect with new people and deepen your relationships with those you’ve already met on Flock. Consistency is key to building a strong network over time.
4. Networking with a Twist: While the emphasis is on the laid-back fun pool game and relaxation, you’ll also find plenty of opportunities for meaningful connections in between your trick shots. Who knows? Your next big collaboration or partnership could start with a simple conversation over a pool table.
