Between us we've backed 70+ startups. Both funds are run by ex-engineers and deep tech founders, so questions get technical fast.

Partnerships as a GTM Strategy

by Elisabeth Sabeditsch

Founders often treat go-to-market as a choice between paid acquisition and organic growth. That overlooks a channel sitting in plain sight: partnerships. Partnerships can be one of the strongest growth levers available to a startup, yet most companies either never build a real strategy around them or treat them as an afterthought once other channels start to plateau. If done well, partnerships can

TAIC: The uneven distribution of AI's promise

by Anna Fedorova

The gap between cutting-edge AI research and its "last-mile" applications in low- and middle-income countries remains stubbornly large.

There are far too few organizations focused on that today at the necessary scale. This talk unpacks

Optimising Open Source Model Inference

by Anna Andersson

Join Earlybird and Condense for a technical breakfast discussion on the economics of running open source models in production. There's a common promise that switching to open source cuts your inference bill - but in practice, it often doesn't. Output token prices look cheaper, yet cost per task tends to be higher because open models are more token-intensive. As startups scale, agent economics beco

code.talks 2026

by alphalist GmbH

code.talks 2026 is a two-day conference for developer teams and CTOs in Hamburg. For both days it takes over Kinopolis in HafenCity and runs its talks in the cinema halls. alphalist GmbH organises the event and expects 3,500 attendees. The programme has more than 100 sessions across 14 curated tracks. Among them are GenAI and LLMs, architecture, cloud, security, frontend, product, data and craft. Each track has a lead curator, and a team of curators chooses what makes the stage. Talks come from invited speakers and from a call for papers that ran in three waves. Partners can present content too, but it has to pass the same curators. The organiser says about 90 percent of the content is independent of sponsors. The stated aim is to help attendees look beyond their own specialty and learn what is happening in other fields. One ticket covers both days, including sessions, masterclasses, meals and the party.
