Hi Berliners 👋

It's time for the company Christmas event party season! Enjoy your time and celebrate the end of the year ✨ Founders, investors, and team managers keep your hands by yourself - I think we had enough bad publicity the last years 😑

We will, of course, conduct our own Christmas event and, this year, together with Bettertrust and Roundtable - Secret Santa Night.

🥳 We hope you’re ready because we can’t wait!
