What happens when 25 BRYCK members go on workation to Netherlands for 2 days? 🫢

There will be
🎬 a whole crime film with a whole cast & film crew
🧑‍🍳 cooking sessions for the whole team
♟️ activity games (including absolute confusion about language and facial expressions)
🎤 karoke performances, that no one has ever seen
💃 dance battles
🏓 energetic table tennis matches
& 🎱 billiard duels - all night long.

And since it's called WORKation, there was also a WORKshop on the second day: Christian and Philipp gave a very emotional review of the first year of BRYCK & Jeanette helped us to learn more about the people at BRYCK and our cultures. 

We had the best time at the workation & an even stronger bond and passion for what BRYCK is, than before.

This is BRYCK - become part of it. 🤍

“One event won’t change anything” - CHANGE MY MIND! 🔁

As forward-thinkers, we need to break through or at least question old ways of thinking and acting in order to be open to and drive innovative ideas for a livable future. And on Thursday evening we not only gave it a name, but also a face with this event: CHANGE MY MIND 🖤

10 startups performed their most creative pitches on our CHANGE MY MIND stage. 5 of these startups particularly caught the audience’s attention in a very special way and won themselves an exclusive ticket to SLUSH!!! Congratulations to Dexter Health & Your Easy AI 👏🥳

So, what do you think is more effective: singing your pitch, acting it out, or charming your audience with thought experiments?

It’s Fusion Friday - “...and it feels so good” 🤍☁️

The art exhibition “...and it feels so good” meets in the Redbull Hangar 7 in Vienna the contrast of well-known motor exhibitions and invokes painting and its possibilities in itself. The various exhibits stand out with their references to nature and the human condition. Painting in this exhibition represents a kind of reflexive diary. The viewer gets the feeling of being able to relate to the artist’s pure experience or perception of things. One gets the impression of recognizing nature as such and life itself in its purest form.

When was the last time you focused entirely on the elemental essence of your experience? ✨

Thanks .ndlr for the pictures!

Between opportunities in the economic crisis and cryptocurrency in the metaverse 🌐🌱
At our Livable Meetup, Sebastian Borek, Leonard Dorlöchter gave us a glimpse of the future and provided plenty to talk about during the networking afterwards.

Here are 3 key statements from our guests:

1️⃣ “The key to success lies in the ability to quickly adapt to changes in the market - something that established companies cannot do so easily” Josef Brunner made clear. In his opinion, there is no better time to start a business than now.

2️⃣ In his plea on Web3, Sebastian Borek drew a comparison to Web2: “In Web2, too, it was always said at the beginning ‘Nobody needs that’ and now it is impossible to imagine people’s everyday lives without it.” He predicts such a development for Web3 as well.

3️⃣ Leonard Dorlöchter sees great potential in Web3 technology: “Web3 will work exclusively between interactors. Cross-platform applications will become superfluous as a result”.

Which of the topics could you talk about for hours? 💭 Post it in the comments & let’s chat about it!👇

5 sprint weeks done, 5 more to go - Halftime during our sprint!

During the sprint Interim session, we had the pleasure to team up with consultant at .vox pitch coach and investment expert as well as .savings Torsten Bendlin, CEO and Co-Founder of .

Both experts joint our coaching sessions for 1-1-feedback sessions with the teams.
Despite Ruth’s preference for hard-hitting facts and figures, her final advice was colored by emotion: “No matter what a coach recommends you to do, you as founders know your own business best. So be self-confident and have a sense of how you should act next.”

Speaking of emotions: during our 1st meetup, Torsten Bendlin, .sigmund & Walter Gottschalk from shared their stories about their personal drives for their businesses and what a society needs to preserve prosperity while marching forwards into a generational and environmental balanced world.

Also a massive thank you to who joint us for some live music.

We´re looking forward to the next & final session of this BRYCK & H2UB Sprint!
