betabreakfast

betahaus's weekly community breakfast at betahaus | Kreuzberg, running Thursday mornings for years and one of the oldest standing appointments in the Berlin startup calendar.

An hour over coffee from 10:00, with founders, freelancers, creatives and people new to the city dropping in. No agenda and no pitch unless there is a guest speaker that week; the format is deliberately low-key. Programme details for individual editions go up on the betahaus events page closer to the date. Free for betahaus members, and historically free or a small door contribution for everyone else depending on the week's guest.

Why go: the gentlest on-ramp into the Berlin ecosystem there is, and the one room where turning up alone and knowing nobody is the normal case rather than the awkward one. Best for people new to Berlin, solo founders and freelancers.
