About this event
If you’ve been thinking about starting a company but aren’t sure where to begin, this info session is a practical place to start. You’ll get a clear look at CODE’s Incubator program, meet people who are serious about building, and leave with a better sense of whether this is the right next step for you. This is not a vague inspiration talk. It’s an in-person session in Berlin for people who want to understand how the program works, what kind of support it offers, and how to approach founding with more structure, more momentum, and the right community around them. About the Event This event is an information session for CODE’s Incubator program: a chance to learn what the program is, who it’s designed for, and how it can help aspiring founders move from idea to action. If you’re curious about launching something of your own, this session is built to answer the questions that matter early on. You can expect a straightforward introduction to the program rather than a high-level pitch. The goal is to help you understand the incubator in concrete terms: the kind of environment it offers, the people you’ll meet, and the role it can play if you’re exploring company building seriously. Because this is also a community and networking event, it’s a good setting for honest conversations. You won’t just hear about the program in the abstract; you’ll be in a room with other people who are also thinking about startups, ideas, teams, and what it takes to get something off the ground. As an in-person gathering in Berlin, the session also creates space for more natural interaction than a typical online webinar. That matters if you’re trying to assess fit, ask nuanced questions, or simply get a feel for the people and energy around the program. What to Expect The evening will likely center on a clear walkthrough of CODE’s Incubator program and how participants can engage with it. The format is designed to help you quickly understand what the opportunity is and whether it matches your goals. You can expect the session to include: An introduction to the incubator and its purpose Context on who the program is for, especially people considering founding a company A chance to ask questions about the experience, expectations, and next steps Time to connect with others in the room who are interested in startups, community, and building new things This is also a useful event if you’re still early in your thinking. You do not need to arrive with everything figured out. If you have an idea you want to test, a problem space you care about, or simply a strong interest in entrepreneurship, this session gives you a concrete way to learn more without needing to make assumptions from the outside. The networking side of the evening is just as valuable as the informational piece. Often, the best next step in founding is not another article or podcast episode, but a conversation with someone asking similar questions or exploring a complementary path. This event creates room for those conversations to happen in person. Why Attend Founding a company can feel exciting, but also confusing when you’re trying to figure out where to start, what support you need, and how to avoid building in isolation. This session helps reduce that uncertainty by giving you direct access to the program and the community around it. Attending can help you: Understand the incubator clearly before deciding whether to pursue it further Get closer to action if you’ve been sitting on an idea or ambition for a while Meet people with similar goals around startups, product building, and entrepreneurship Ask practical questions in person instead of trying to piece things together afterward Gauge fit honestly based on real interaction, not guesswork There’s also real value in simply being in the room. If you’ve been wanting to spend more time around people who are founder-curious, ambitious, and engaged with building, this is a smart way to do that. Even one strong conversation can sharpen your thinking or open a door you hadn’t considered. For people at CODE or connected to its community, this event is especially useful because it brings the incubator into focus as a concrete path rather than an abstract concept. You’ll leave with a better understanding of what’s available and what your next step could be if you want to pursue it. Practical Details This is an in-person event in Berlin, Germany, which makes it ideal for attendees who want face-to-face conversation, easier networking, and a more immediate sense of the community around the incubator. If you value being able to ask follow-up questions naturally and meet people beyond a screen, the in-person format is a real advantage. The session takes place on Monday, October 13 at 6:00 PM GMT+2. The evening timing makes it accessible for students, builders, and professionals who want to attend after the main part of their day. A few useful things to keep in mind: Come ready with questions about the incubator, founding, or what you’re looking for in a startup environment Expect a mix of information and conversation, not just passive listening Plan to stay open to meeting people, since the networking aspect is part of the value If you’re unsure whether you’re “ready,” that’s okay; this session is exactly the place to get clarity If founding a company is on your mind, this event offers a low-friction, high-signal way to explore that path in a room full of people who take building seriously.
