☕ FOUNDERS UNFILTERED
☕ Coffee, Croissants & Candid Conversations
Hosted by Alina Bassi, Impact VC at Ananda Impact Ventures
May 13th
9:00 – 11:00 AM
Fora Pressehaus, Berlin
Start your morning with what most founders really need:
Fresh croissants, strong coffee, and an honest space to talk about the journey: The good, the tough, and everything in between.
Founders Unfiltered is a series created for builders, by people who’ve been there. It’s a place to share the lessons you won’t find in a funding announcement.
This edition is hosted by Alina Bassi, VC at Ananda and former founder, as well as a special fireside with:
🔥Alan Poensgen
VC Partner at Antler · 3x Founder · Co-founder at Westwing
Alan will share stories from his own startup path: The milestones, the mistakes that taught him the most, and the mindset that helped him build again.
Hosted in the beautifully designed Fora Pressehaus, the space sets the perfect tone to kick-start your day with energy, inspiration, and connection.
No fluff. Not a pitch night.
Just strong coffee, croissants, and unfiltered founder stories.
