Before the madness of Bits & Pretzels kicks off, join us for something a little different: a group ride around one of Bavaria's most beautiful lakes. Rethink Ventures, Drumbeat Capital, 10x Founders and Bits & Pretzels are bringing together the venture community for an afternoon on two wheels around Lake Starnberg, the perfect way to trade the conference hall for open road, alpine views, and conversations that flow a lot more easily at riding pace than across a networking table.
We roll out at 3:00 PM on Friday, September 25, with a stop at a lakeside café along the way to grab a gelato and catch our breath.
Whether you're here to log some kilometers, meet fellow investors, or simply enjoy the lake before the week ramps up, you're welcome in the peloton.
