Because founding rewards one thing above all: 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭. We start the week with 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐬 and end the day with a 𝐫𝐮𝐧 - so you kick the week off properly and keep your edge. Then we hold each other accountable, all the way to the next Monday. 🔁

👩‍💻 𝐃𝐞𝐞𝐩, 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫-𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐨-𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤. High-context. No small talk. No dabblers. The rare balance between heads-down focus and the exchange that only happens between people carrying the same weight.

🏃 𝐀 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐫𝐮𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐭. Your best ideas show up when your guard is down - when you're moving, sweating, building alongside people who get it.

🚀 Built for 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲-𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 actively building - shipping product, chasing first customers, raising, leading. Especially powerful if you're solo or non-technical and done trying to do it all alone.

🚪 This is a community for 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 - 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐜𝐫𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐬, 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬. Come if you're building with intent.

It's about a community where founders show up as 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐬. The sweat, the shared effort, the vulnerability of a physical challenge - it strips away the elevator pitch and makes space for real connection. 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧'𝐭 𝐟𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐚𝐭 𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐢𝐯𝐞.

𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐑𝐮𝐧 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫s

Hi, I'm 𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐚, chapter lead for FRC Berlin. I spent my early years competing as a national-level track and field athlete. Later, I moved into the startup world - building inside several startups and scaleups, including 𝐌𝐨𝐬𝐬 (now a unicorn), and several other startups, two of which were acquired. Now I bring that same athlete's discipline to helping other founders make the leap - and switch to founder mindset . 🚀

Connect with me on LinkedIn & Instagram.

Hi everyone, I’m Alena! I’m a passionate runner and the Chapter Lead of the Founders Running Club Berlin. Outside of running, I’ve been dancing bachata for years, so if you’re into either, come say hi!

Professionally, I’ve spent several years in Legal Tech and innovation, with a growing focus on Business Development, partnerships, and connecting people. I’ve built a strong network across Berlin’s founder, entrepreneurial, and leadership community.

I love bringing people together and creating meaningful connections. Looking forward to meeting many of you through this collaboration!

Feel free to find me on LinkedIn!
