About this event

The stretch before day one: an idea that might not hold up, a co-founder you have not found, and a lot of decisions made on very little information. Two early-stage founders talk through that part honestly, moderated by Nicole Büttner, Founding Partner at Merantix Capital. Serra Yosmaoglu is building in the geospatial data layer and was a geospatial data scientist at the German Aerospace Center; Stephanie Jonkers has worked across radar signal processing, automotive AI at Daimler and CARIAD, and AWS, and is now exploring her own company. Coffee from 09:00, discussion and Q&A 09:15–10:15, networking to 11:00. Doors close 09:30 sharp. Free, at the AI Campus in Wedding. Why go: ideation-stage conversations are usually told backwards as success stories; this one is deliberately about what did not work. Best for engineers and researchers thinking about founding.
