Find your ideal startup co-founder in Berlin – structured matching, and an opportunity to join the SIBB Incubator

The hardest part of building a startup is finding the right people.

Great ideas often fail not because of the concept, but because the founding team doesn’t fit. Finding someone who shares your ambition, complements your skills, and is ready to build something meaningful is harder than it sounds.

This event brings together founders with startup ideas and talented people looking to join a startup in a structured, data-driven matching format.

Organized by SIBB –Digital Association Berlin-Brandenburg, this evening combines curated co-founder matching sessions with open networking. The matching process is supported by TribeSquare, which helps identify the most relevant connections before the event.

During the event you will also learn about the SIBB Incubator, a startup programme supporting early-stage founders building solutions in Cybersecurity and Trustworthy AI.

The evening will be moderated by Mario Liebrenz (SIBB).

 

⚠️ Important:

• The event is part of CIC Venture Café at the 5th floor, and an additional brief registration on-site is required.
• Entry is only possible until 19:00, as the structured matching sessions begin shortly afterward.
