127. Founders' Barbecue meets DeepTechHub 

The legendary Founders’ Barbecue is back—and the 127th edition features a special program: for the second time, Founders’ Barbecue is teaming up with DeepTechHub Matchmaking.

Bratwurst, after-work drinks, and the Karlsruhe startup scene under the open sky. Whether you’re building a startup, looking for a team, want to discuss business models, or are simply curious about the community—this is the place for you. Experienced founders, newcomers, and everyone in between come together to exchange ideas, share lessons learned, and think ahead together.

No pitch. No dress code. Just show up. To help us plan better, please register.

Starting at 5 p.m., the co-founder matchmaking session kicks off as a pre-event. The matchmaking is for founders and those who want to become founders—whether you’re looking for co-founders or your first team members. And for all the talent out there who aren’t just looking for a job, but want to be part of something bigger.

Even earlier, you can stop by the KIT Career Fair—the KIT-Gründerschmiede will be there from 12 PM to 5 PM at Booth No. B01, featuring various startups. Here you’ll find an overview of current job openings at our KIT startups. At 4 p.m., you can also find us together with Desoltik in the Student Tent for a talk on career paths in the startup ecosystem.
