foundersXchange Darmstadt - Xmas Edition

All I want for Christmas… is a start-up f:ck-up. 🎁

The Christmas edition of foundersXchange Darmstadt is back for another round, and once again, December is all about the stories you won’t find in any pitch deck: founders share their biggest start-up f:ck-ups, decisions that went wrong, costly lessons and the insights that ultimately changed everything.

There’ll be drinks, treats and a festive atmosphere for great conversations and plenty of networking.

📅 When: 14 December 2026

📍 Where: Café 221qm, Alexanderstr. 2, Darmstadt

⏰ Start: from 6 pm

Come along, get inspired and learn from others’ mistakes before you make your own. Fail merrily!🎄

AI, the Centre for Satellite Navigation Hesse (cesah), the HUB31 Technology and Start-up Centre, and YUBIZZ, the start-up initiative of h_da.
