Royal Klasse

In 2015, a founder named Christian Velbinger looked at the startup networking landscape and saw a playbook he wanted to rewrite. Instead of conference halls and stale coffee, he envisioned something different. This led to the creation of The Royal Jungle, a business event series that wasn't just about who you knew, but *how* you met them. The core concept was simple: exclusivity and experience. The events, described as happenings for entrepreneurs, were held in unconventional, often secret, locations like penthouses, private castles, or even on yachts. Tickets weren't for sale; attendees had to apply, creating a curated environment of founders, tech leaders, and investors. This wasn't just a party; it was a platform where established entrepreneurs shared their stories, fostering a unique blend of high-value networking and high-energy atmosphere. The journey wasn't one of venture capital rounds or a splashy IPO. Instead, the company's growth was measured by its expanding influence and reputation. The brand extended its reach from its Munich roots to Berlin and other international pop-ups, becoming a fixture in the German startup scene. The playbook here was about building a powerful community, not just a company, turning ephemeral conversations into tangible opportunities.
