Uncertainty is part of building a startup — from navigating health insurance and taxes to making important decisions when the path ahead isn’t clear. This Thursday Gathering brings together practical guidance and expert insights to help founders feel more prepared, focused, and equipped to navigate uncertainty. And there’s a little bonus waiting for you! 🎁 TK has prepared a special surprise for attendees, so join us to find out what it is.
Because building a startup is already complicated enough — your insurance and taxes shouldn’t be. In cooperation with Techniker Krankenkasse (TK), we’ll break down the essentials founders and startup teams need to know, helping you better understand your options, avoid common pitfalls, and make informed decisions about the practical side of running a business in Germany. Alongside this, a dedicated session will explore the neuroscience of founder clarity, emotional regulation, and decision-making under uncertainty.

Health insurance and taxes might not be the most exciting parts of building a startup — but getting them right can save you time, money, and plenty of headaches down the road. From understanding your health insurance options to navigating tax essentials as a founder, this session will tackle the questions entrepreneurs commonly face and turn confusing topics into practical takeaways you can actually use.

Uncertainty is no longer a phase in startup building, it's the permanent landscape. Fundraising on hold. Market signals mixed. Technology shifting the ground beneath your business model every quarter.
When uncertainty becomes chronic, your nervous system doesn't distinguish between a real threat and strategic ambiguity. Your attention narrows. Clarity erodes. Decisions shift from intentional to reactive — precisely when you need them most.
Psychologist Julia Majer explores the neuroscience of how uncertainty affects founder cognition and decision-making, and walks you through concrete, embodied techniques to maintain regulation, focus, and strategic clarity even when the path forward remains unclear.
Because founders don't need certainty to lead well. They need to stay regulated enough to navigate it.
For: Founders, leadership teams, and anyone building at the edge of what's knowable.
