BAD1 & Anna Auerbach (Volt): Shaping the Future of Berlin's Startup Ecosystem

Join us for an open discussion on the BAD1 White Paper with Anna Auerbach, lead candidate for Volt Berlin in the September election, lawyer, and startup founder.

This conversation is particularly exciting as Anna brings a unique perspective. As both a political leader and a startup founder, she understands the realities of building a company firsthand. This offers a rare opportunity to discuss how Berlin can become a more founder-friendly city with someone who has experienced the ecosystem from the inside.

BAD1 has always been about turning ideas into action. Our goal isn't just to publish recommendations—it's to ensure they reach the people shaping Berlin's future. That's why we're inviting all democratic political leaders to discuss the most pressing challenges and opportunities for Berlin's startup ecosystem.

What started as a small initiative has grown into an exciting movement that brings together founders, investors, operators, and ecosystem builders around a shared mission: making Berlin the best place in Europe to build ambitious companies.

During this session, we'll present the BAD1 White Paper, discuss its key recommendations, hear Anna Auerbach's perspective on the future of Berlin as a startup hub, and open the floor for questions and discussion from the community.

Whether you've contributed to BAD1 from the beginning or are joining the conversation for the first time, we'd love to have you there!

Moderation: TBD
