[01]What It Is

Where Berlin Stops Performing and Starts Comparing.

For operators who would rather compare numbers than collect business cards. One evening, three formats:

Lively discussions that pressure-test real strategiesWorkshops on strategy development, innovation, and industry trendsNetworking with Berlin’s founders, operators and investors

Seasoned executive or first-time founder — this is your room, hosted by CxLEVER.

Berlin is the easiest city in Germany to get attention in, and the hardest to keep it. This is the room for the second problem.

[02]Who Should Come

Founders Between Rounds

Seed to Series B, where the GTM has to start repeating.

Operators Who Own a Number

RevOps, growth and sales leads accountable for pipeline.

Investors and Operators-in-Residence

Pattern-matching across a portfolio.

Teams Landing in Germany

Arriving from abroad, learning the market from the inside.

[03]Format & Cadence

How an Evening Runs

What does a typical evening look like?

18:30 — Doors & drinks: informal networking to arrive and settle in.
Welcome: a short framing of the evening’s topic from the hosts.
Keynote or practitioner panel: founders, practitioners, or domain experts on what actually worked — and what didn’t.
Open discussion: moderated, candid — the room challenges and builds on the topic.
Curated networking: structured introductions, so you leave with the two or three contacts that matter for you.

Plan for roughly three hours.

How often does it meet, and where?

The meetup meets regularly throughout the year. Central Berlin. Editions move between Mitte, Kreuzberg and the Friedrichshain corridor, chosen for conversation rather than conference theatre. Each edition is announced with date and venue on the platforms listed above.

What does it cost?

Attendance is free for participants — always. We keep it that way deliberately: the value of the room is the room. Registration in advance is required, as seats are limited and editions regularly fill up.

Can I speak, host, or partner?

Yes.

CxLEVER curates speakers and panelists from the expert community, and partners with venues and companies that want to put their space or topic in front of a senior audience. Write to [email protected] with a short pitch.
