Systemic Investing Salon
Systemic Investing Salon
– A Berlin Meetup for Curious Builders, Thinkers, and Funders
Systemic investing is gaining momentum - but let’s be honest: while the term is showing up more often, few truly understand what it means, let alone how to put it into practice.
This salon is for those who want to go deeper. We're bringing together systems thinkers, impact investors, and founders to explore how:
Systemic thinking can shape the future of capital and venture building.
We can align capital to the systemic change we need.
No panel fluff, no green-/system-washing. Just real people, bold ideas, and a shared intention to co-shape what systemic investing could become - starting here in Berlin.
Why this meetup?
Systemic investing is still mostly taking root in US, UK, Canada, and Australia.
The field needs local ripple effects—and Berlin has the talent, energy, and intention to contribute.
More and more investors reference “systems change,” but often without real grounding. Let’s build the substance behind the words.
Who’s infusing the conversation?
We’ll be joined by:
Johannes Tschiderer (TransCap Initiative) – advancing systemic investing practices globally
Martin Valkov (Karma Capital, ex-Metabolic) – co-developing what may become the first truly systemic VC
And most importantly: you.
We’ll co-create space for open dialogue, feedback, and inspiration.
Who should come?
You don’t need to be an expert, but curiosity and a systems lens help. You might be:
A systems thinker or designer eager to apply your craft for shaping capital structures
An investor or philanthropist looking to evolve your approach beyond ESG or classic impact
A founder aiming to align capital with real systems transformation
