Reflections after Bits & Pretzels 2025

Rubin Basha

It was inspiring to witness the massive challenges being undertaken.

Though life often seems like a collection of separate paths, seeing them cross so pleasantly here was hopeful, reminding us that cooperation is often the key to success and that one needs to value his/her own strengths and be open to learning from advice and differences in points of view.

Cooperation can help us reach touchpoints otherwise impossible.

Luck matters, but we must seek it by diving into the foreign and learning to navigate it.

Today is the time to act, yesterday is gone, tomorrow depends on today.

Insights:

Peer Learning: Participate in speed dating rounds to hear directly from founders who have already navigated the path you're starting. Be open and just talk to people spontaneously, everyone is interesting.

Market Clarity: Gained a pragmatic overview of opportunities and complexities in the German market.

The event delivered strong connections and refined our strategic roadmap.

It was a pleasure to attend with Eraldo Hasanaj and to meet my friend Björn Michael Solvan Theilmann

Thank you Bits & Pretzels for the opportunities and everyone I encountered for the time spent together.
