■ about
■ Brew Berlin is a recurring 4-month event series and program for builders of the open and decentralised internet.
we invest in people rather than projects, aiming for long-lasting impact.
Think of it as a people incubator consisting of monthly meetups, office space, expert sessions, culminating june 2026 in a conference during the Berlin Blockchain Week.
S1 2026 ▼
■ s1 runs from March - June 2026
the right to privacy is quietly eroding in the systems we rely on every day.
As digital infrastructures become increasingly tied to identity, verification, and data collection, it’s vital to build tools and infrastructure that allow people to move, transact, and communicate privately.
■ Join us for s1 - Privacy Tech
■ S1 2026: privacy tech
■ our approach
We’ve built hackathons and conferences, and what we’ve learned is that the best projects start with real connections and curiosity.
Having a consistent presence, introducing people to a technology, and giving them the space to experiment creates more lasting impact than prize money or predetermined outcomes ever could.
