Founder Colloquium
– The Core of the AI Natives Hub
At the heart of the AI Natives Hub sits human-to-human collaboration – a physical space where founders learn not just from experts but from each other.
The monthly 2-hour intensive Founder Colloquium is the anchor of iterative cross-collaboration and the engine that drives every startup forward – together.
In this guided session, all founders come together to:
- exchange insights from their current progress, failures, and experiments
- test assumptions in a supportive but intellectually sharp environment
- identify blind spots and hidden opportunities
- pressure-test current approach against emerging AI capabilities
- resolve their strategic bottleneck using collective experience
Every colloquium blends structured reflection with open dialogue, enabling founders to benefit from the diverse perspectives of the community.
Where one approach struggles with user needs, another may have solved a similar challenge. Where one startup is exploring a new tool, others immediately gain the insight.
This collective intelligence – amplified by AI as an operating system – accelerates learning far beyond what any founder could achieve alone.
It is not about pitch decks, KPIs, or polished narratives.
It is about thinking differently, adapting quickly, and building companies that make sense in a world shaped by rapid AI transformation.
The result?
A family of founders who grow together, move faster, and make fewer mistakes – supported by a learning environment built specifically for the pace and uncertainty of AI native innovation.

For €100 per month we offer our members a focused surrounding where they don’t build solo, but with others immersed at the frontier. Once a month, before a hackathon or community dinner, the Hub hosts a shared 2-hour colloquium to exchange bottlenecks, test assumptions, and find solutions through collective ideation.
Foresight Sessions
A free Zukunftswerkstatt to assess your own AI-native potential until 2035. Facilitated for each founder or founder team to expand the possibility space and uncover potential bottlenecks, using tools from foresight, design thinking and future science.
Helps founders clarify their long-term vision, future market potential, and AI-native positioning.
One-on-one Mentoring
On-demand mentorship sessions for technical, organizational, or strategic challenges with either of the Hub founders.
Option to bring in external experts for topic-specific advice.
