Go-to-Market Strategy
Our strategy is to build a repeatable Berlin playbook before expanding to other cities:
Onboard Organizers and Venues
Start with founder-led acquisition of 5-10 founding organizers and venues. Build reference events and testimonials.
Validate Recurring Supply
Ensure organizers run events repeatedly and venues book multiple events. Prove the supply-side model works.
Generate Participant Demand
Build participant base through social campaigns, community partnerships, and organizer audience sharing.
Prove Marketplace Liquidity
Demonstrate that participants attend events, provide feedback, match with each other, and return for more events.
Expand City by City
Once Berlin playbook is proven, replicate the model in other German cities with local teams.
