Hi lovely Münchner:innen,
it's Wiesn week! By the weekend the city will be in full Dirndl-and-Lederhosen mode, so this week is the perfect moment to squeeze in some good conversations before Munich collectively disappears onto the Theresienwiese. I've pulled together the best events for you, a lovely mix to ease you into the season.
Have a great start into the week! ☀️
[her]e we grow together
Meet LYFEADS
Imagine a world where free access to menstrual products in public spaces is as normal as free toilet paper. Where no one has to plan their day around their period, worry about running out of supplies, or feel held back because of it.
That's exactly what LYFEADS is building. Brands place their message on the packaging and, in doing so, fund tampons that we distribute for free in public spaces. An advertising budget becomes real access. It's a new kind of advertising, not interruption or noise, but essential, genuinely useful infrastructure.
And it works. With over 38 sponsors, 40 location partners, and more than 90,000 boxes of tampons already handed out, they've shown that LYFEADS creates access and stands on its own economically.
The model cuts both ways: free for everyone who menstruates, valuable for the brands who become visible through it, and a real step toward finally breaking the taboo around menstruation.

Want to meet LYFEADS and founder Pheline in person? Then sign up for the Deep Strength Class, train together, bring more female health awareness into your everyday routine, and get to know the team behind LYFEADS.

[her]e picks of the week 15.09-20.09
Tuesday, 15.09
Startups for Tomorrow Festival | 10am | The SFT Festival is the one-day conference by Startups for Tomorrow e.V., this year at smartvillage in Munich-Bogenhausen. Under the motto "Where Growth & AI meets Impact," it brings together founders, investors, and changemakers from the DACH impact ecosystem. Across three stages (Impact, Marketing & Growth, AI), you can expect keynotes, panels, and deep dives, plus networking formats like Meet the Founder, the Pitch (Reverse) Night, and the Investors Dinner. Food and drinks are included all day. The festival is sold out.
Return to yourself through breath | 7pm | The Deep Breathwork Circle is a regular offering from Mindbird, facilitated by Jasmin-Chiara. Using Conscious Connected Breathwork, continuous circular breathing to access deeper layers of the psyche and release stored emotions, plus gentle acupressure-based bodywork, it's a space to go within and let go of what no longer serves you. Circles are kept small to hold a safe space for everyone, new or experienced. Capacity is limited, so register early.
Wednesday, 16.09
SHE APÉRO #11 @ Ruby Rosi München | 6:30pm | We're hosting our eleventh SHE APÉRO, in person at Ruby Rosi in Munich. SHE APÉRO is a female, invite-only network for authentic exchange, inspiration, and mutual support — on equal footing. The format is a relaxed apéro with drinks, food, and snacks, an inspiring keynote, and open networking afterward. Capacity is limited, so register early.
Ask Me Anything Session with Serial Founder Katharina Mayer | 12pm | With Kuchentratsch, Katharina Mayer built a company that brought generations together and inspired people well beyond Munich. Today she's the founder of HOLD SPACE, starting fresh, but with all her experience behind her. In this Ask Me Anything, we talk about her first startup, the parallels to her current venture, and what she's deliberately doing differently: which decisions she'd repeat, which mistakes she wants to avoid, and how founding changes once you know how hard it can be. Bring your questions live.
n8n Meetup Munich | 5:30pm | If you're trying to scale n8n beyond a single team or a handful of workflows, this session is for you. We're bringing together two speakers who've spent real time solving that problem from different angles: rollout and governance on one side, and workflow intelligence on the other.
Thursday, 17.09
Female Founders Breakfast #Munich | 9am | Being a female entrepreneur isn't always easy, which is why we believe in intentional spaces to slow down, connect deeply, and lift each other up. This breakfast brings together a curated group of solopreneurs and startup founders, each invited to share their projects, intentions, and challenges, as we make space for real exchange and collaboration.
