🚀 Work doesn't stop after the event: How we work on a long-term vision of Bits & Pretzels. We often get asked "your event is only once a year - what do you do the rest of the time?". Well, work clearly doesn't stop after our yearly founders festival. Organizing one of Europe's most relevant startup conferences takes not only a lot of time - but also a lot of strategic thinking. And to be honest: after spending most of the summer in our office and preparing this year's event, we needed to get some change of scenery. The breathtaking Hotel DAS TEGERNSEE provided exactly that. Not only giving a good view over the Tegernsee lake but also our visions & goals for the next years to come. 🌟 Key takeaways? Strategic clarity comes easier when the mind is clear and the setting inspires. Great teamwork shines even brighter in the right environment. And yes, sometimes the best ideas are born during coffee breaks with a panoramic view! 💪 A huge thanks to the Das Tegernsee team for their flawless combination of professionalism, hospitality, and an environment that fuels motivation. And, of course, an even bigger thank you to our incredible team – you are the heart of Bits & Pretzels! 👇️How do you break free from your daily routine to focus on the big picture?
