Community Alpha Part 118
GMGM and welcome to Community Alpha Part 118, the newsletter writing itself faster than I can publish it. Berlin's having its San Francisco moment this week. And not in a "we wish we were them" way. In this way:
That's exactly why Max & Marie are bringing the real SF to the hub tonight: 20 builders, 3 minutes each, raw product, no decks. Last call below 👇
ACT Berlin: 35 builders showed up, here is the next session
BBF Speaker Drop: The first names are officially live
Quantum Brunch: Is your BTC safe from future supercomputers?
New Faces: Changing the ratio at the hub
ACT Berlin is officially a thing
We pulled it off. On Tuesday, ACT Berlin (AI Coworking Tuesday) had its debut at the hub, and I honestly was blown away by the turnout.
35 people showed up out of 50 approvals on Luma. That's a show rate other Berlin events would kill for.
The vibe was the part I'm still thinking about. People skipped the small talk, opened laptops, and just started exchanging.
My vibe-coded matchmaker app got its first real test, helping people find the most interesting person in the room. It worked.
But honestly, even without it, the room knew what to do.
Big shoutout to Daniel, our first session partner. His deep-dive sparked actual discussion, not just polite nodding.
Now we keep building. The next session is already open for applications.
If you ship with AI and are tired of yapping conferences, this is your room.
One exclusive sponsor slot per session is still open. DM Quinn if that's you.
The first 4 BBF speakers are live
The Berlin Blockchain Festival (June 15-21) site just dropped its first 4 confirmed names, and Animoca + Base showed up first. Voices from across finance, AI, privacy, and more.
Chloe White (Senior Advisor, Chainflip Labs): Rise of AI in Web3, bridging Berlin's Web3 community with the AI wave.
Robby Yung (CEO, Animoca Brands): AI, agentic rails & RWAs, the next chapter of digital ownership.
Akin Båmstedt (CEO, 1B-Insurance): Insurance and MiCAR Art. 67, the institutional and regulatory angle. First European insurer to offer MiCAR policies.
Xen Baynham-Herd (Director of Growth, Base): Scaling Ethereum L2s and the onchain economy. Builder, founder, and community organiser.
More speakers landing every week. The website is your single source of truth.
The Quantum Brunch lands next Wednesday
Every other Wednesday, the second floor turns into the chillest kitchen in Berlin. Next week's brunch has a topic that's been bubbling for months: is your BTC really safe once quantum computing shows up?
It's the same question we're putting on stage at BBF in June (15-21), now in a smaller, friendlier room where you can actually push back on it.
Theme: Quantum computing vs. crypto
When: Wednesday, May 27
Where: w3.hub, 2nd floor
Who: w3.hub members and their +1
And while we're talking about the brunch crowd: a few weeks ago we shared something honest about how women are still in the minority at the hub. We’re on it to change that:
If you're not a member yet, this is your chance to experience w3.hub!
Never miss an event from us:
The next 10 days at the hub are stacked. Coworking is open, the courtyard is heating up, and BBF is now visibly close. Always a reason to drop by!
