------ Dear Friends, colleagues, and fellow technologists,

Meetup.ai is back with yet another great event! This time with one of the key issues Startups face — how to talk/collaborate with industry players. There is much to be gained from partnering across the divide; many try but struggle to get traction.

We are happy to invite you to our "BS! - Board to Start Up Talks" on September 12th, at 17:30, once again co-hosted by our great friends at ThoughtWorks Berlin. We will talk about practical tips for founders and corps alike and have a panel discussion with leaders on both sides. So don't miss out as we will have some fantastic experts ready for you. Thoughtworks is a global technology consultancy that integrates strategy, design, and software engineering. It is also a community of passionate, purpose-led individuals.

Speakers:

• Nicholas Borsotto - Head of Lenovo AI Innovators - "Bullsh*t Startups Say"

Panelists:

• Maren Lesche - Founder of Startup Colors & Vision Health Pioneer and Applied Data Incubators
• Pavel Romanenko - Head of GenAI Innovation at Capgeminni Invent
