From Idea to First 10 Customers (2nd part)
Sat, May 30, 11:00 AMđ **From Idea to First 10 Customers â Part 2** âThe journey doesnât stop after building the idea. The real challenge begins when you need people to actually use â and pay for â what you created. âAfter the great response to our first session, weâre bringing back Part 2 with deeper discussions, practical insights, and real founder experiences focused on getting traction in the early stages. âThis session is designed for founders, aspiring entrepreneurs, freelancers, and anyone interested in understanding how startups move from an idea to their first real users and customers. âNo unrealistic âgrowth hacks.â No theory overload. Just practical conversations around early-stage growth, validation, customer acquisition, and building momentum. *** # âđĄ What Weâll Discuss â⢠How to get your first users ⢠Finding early adopters ⢠Mistakes founders make in the beginning ⢠Why validation matters more than perfection ⢠Building trust before scaling ⢠Realistic approaches to early customer acquisition ⢠Lessons from startup experiences *** # âđŻ Why Join âBecause getting your first customers is often harder than building the product itself. âThis session will help you better understand: â how people discover products â why some ideas gain traction and others donât â what founders should focus on in the early stages *** # âđ Event Details âđ **May 30, 2026** â° **13:00 â 15:30** đ **The Social Hub** âSee you there!

Business Netzwerken Berlin in Moabit am 9. Juni um 8:45 Uhr
Tue, Jun 9, 6:45 AM!!! Please note that this meetup will be held entirely in German only !!! Weil es bei den letzten Malen so schĂśn war, treffen wir uns diesmal wieder im **CI Space auf der BugenhagenstraĂe 9, 10551 Berlin** (https://maps.app.goo.gl/dXaYKm8fkhBsxk42A). Vielen Dank an Iztok Petek, den Inhaber vom CI Space (www.facebook.com/cispaceberlin), der das wieder kostenlos fĂźr uns mĂśglich macht - bitte dankt es ihm nach MĂśglichkeit mit dem Kauf von 1, 2 Getränken vor Ort. **Bitte seid spätestens 5min vor 9 Uhr da, da wir pĂźnktlich starten werden.** Die ersten sind i. d. R. bereits ab 8:30 Uhr da, um vorab schonmal ein bisschen durchzustarten mit dem Netzwerken. Denkt daran **genĂźgend Visitenkarten,** bitte mindestens eine, mitzubringen fĂźr die moderierte Netzwerkrunde - nur wenn man euch kontaktieren kann, kann man euch im Nachgang auch empfehlen! ;) **Veranstaltungsort:** CI Space (Berlin-Moabit) BugenhagenstraĂe 9 10551 Berlin Nächste **U-Bahn-Station**: U9 TurmstraĂe oder U9 BirkenstraĂe (jeweils ca. 5 Gehminuten). **Start:** pĂźnktlich 9 Uhr (ab 08:30 Uhr sind die ersten meist schon da) Zum nun bereits 10. Mal verschlägt es uns nach Moabit! Unser Moderator [Der Gottwald (siehe hier)](www.der-gottwald.de) lädt erneut ein und fĂźhrt euch durch den Morgen. Wie immer bieten wir eine moderierte Netzwerkrunde fĂźr euch an, um neue Kontakte zu knĂźpfen und das eigene Business voran zu treiben, auĂerdem ist Zeit fĂźr etliche weitere Gespräche! Ein ca. **10-minĂźtiger Impulsvortrag** mit ganz viel Mehrwert fĂźr euch ist auch wieder eingeplant, diesmal kommt der von [Marcus Teschke](https://www.marcus-teschke.de/): Marcus unterstĂźtzt als selbständiger Berater, Trainer und Coach mit viel Erfahrung FĂźhrungskräfte, Teams und Organisationen. Er war zuvor 35 Jahre lang Fach- und FĂźhrungskraft bei GroĂbanken und ist ausgebildeter, zertifizierter Master Business Coach. Sein besonderer Ansatz ist die Kombination aus solider Coaching Kompetenz, kaufmännischer Expertise und sportlichen Wettkampferfahrungen als Ausdauersportler und Ultramarathonläufer. **Manche zukĂźnftigen Slots fĂźr den Impulsvortrag sind noch frei:** falls ihr also bei einem zukĂźnftigen Treffen selbst vortragen (oder gar mal ein Treffen moderieren) mĂśchtet, meldet euch gern bei uns! Die leckeren Getränke, Snacks oder was auch immer euch zum Kauf animiert hat, bezahlt bitte selbst. \-\-\- **(Fast) alle** GrĂźnder\*innen, StartUps, Freiberufler, Unternehmer und Unternehmensvertreter sind willkommen beim Business Netzwerken Meetup. Die Teilnahme ist generell kostenlos und **nicht** an eine Mitgliedschaft gebunden. **Bitte beachten:** Unternehmer mit Multi-Level Marketing-Geschäftsmodellen schlieĂen wir von unseren Veranstaltungen komplett aus, da wir hier die Erfahrung machen mussten, dass es dabei oft nur ums Verkaufen geht, und meistens kein echtes Interesse am Netzwerken und am GegenĂźber existiert. **Weiterhin** stehen wir deshalb auch allen Arten des Provisionsgeschäfts (Finanzoptimierer, Immobilienmakler, Versicherungsvertreter, etc.) extrem kritisch gegenĂźber und gestatten diesen keine Teilnahme an unseren Events. Solltet ihr der Meinung sein, ihr fallt nicht in diese Kategorie, obwohl ihr in einer der genannten Branchen arbeitet, so sprecht uns bitte im Vorfeld an. Wir freuen uns darauf, auch **dich** persĂśnlich kennenzulernen und dir bei der Entwicklung deines Geschäfts weiterzuhelfen!
