off script()
A Berlin community for people who'd rather ship than talk about shipping. Regular hackathons, pitch nights and late nights with founders and builders who get it.
// what we doOne community.
One community.
A few ways to show up.
Everything runs under one roof. Pick the format that fits, or come to all of them.
off_script.pitch()
Pitch nights
Short pitches, honest feedback, no slide-deck theatre.
off_script.fuckups()
Fuck-up nights
What went wrong and what it taught you. The talks nobody else gives.
off_script.after_hours()
After hours
No agenda. Good people, a drink, and conversations that turn into co-founders.
off_script.conference()
Conference
The bigger stage, once the community is ready for it.

// who it's for
Nobody hands you the script for building something new. So we stopped waiting for one.
off_script() is for people who learn by making things, and want to do it next to others who do the same.
- 01Founders building something real, at any stage
- 02Engineers who ship side projects on weekends
- 03Designers and operators who want to build with founders
- 04Anyone who'd rather build than wait for permission

Questions
Is it free?
Yes. Joining the community is free, and so are our events.
Do I need a startup to join?
No. Some members run companies, some are working on their first idea, some just like to build. What matters is that you make things.
Do I need to code?
No. Hackathon teams need builders of every kind: engineers, designers, product people and people who can sell the result.
Where do events happen?
In Berlin. The exact venue comes with each invite.
What does a hackathon look like?
A half-day sprint: arrive, form teams, build, demo. Plenty of food, drinks and people to talk to along the way.
What happens to my details?
We use them only to add you to the community and invite you to events. Leave the WhatsApp group anytime, or ask us there to delete your details.
