Where Work & Nightlife Connect.
Berlin-style.

Bridging the gap for AI adoption. No formal agendas. No social anxiety. No one needs to impress anyone here.*

We focus on hands-on learning and meaningful connections instead.

*Unless you really want to. In which case, that's tolerated.

Why Build & Rave?

This event was inspired by a co-working meetup between founders in Berlin in December and by Peter Steinberger showed his first version of what is now OpenClaw.

Founders at a co-working meetup in Berlin, December 2024

Peter inspired us that AI is changing work – we want to bridge the gap between AI innovation and AI adoption for operators & enterprises. In typical Berlin fashion, we celebrate ideas with electronic music, movement, and lots of positive vibes.
