Berlin Tech. Startup Scene...
The Place To Be...rlin
To be or not to be, that is the question.
Well, that's according to Shakespeare.
But that guy's old and boring. Don't worry about him.
One thing that sure isn't old and boring...Berlin and its tech. scene.
To be or not to Be...rlin.
What a segway!
Berlin Tech. and Party
If you're a programmer, geek, technologist, work in the tech. or want to work in the tech., then consider joining my friend's FB group here.
It's a collection of over 10,000 like-minded people.
If you don't work in tech., you should consider the change.
A robot will probably take your job real soon.
So you better learn how to build/maintain/program that robot. ;-)
Also, there is another friend's company here.
It matches your CV with a growing number of tech. startups looking for talent.
And there is a great Meetup Group for blockchain here.
And at the Mecca for Bitcoin; Room 77, there is another great meetup here.
Berlin is the hottest capital in the world for startups now. Here's why:-
1). Cheap rent, lots of space:
Startups can afford large, trendy offices, on a limited budget. These make for super relaxed environments you actually want to work in.
2). Great parties and nightlife.
Berlin is the place to be for nightlife and partying in Europe. It has the coolest clubs and bars in the world. Every summer people come from everywhere to party here.
3). The girls are gorgeous:
Quite simply there are beautiful women everywhere. They're interesting, doing cool stuff and have a great outlook on life. Super sexy.
4). Affordable rent, great apartments:
It's easy as anything to find somewhere to live (short/medium/long-term). There are a ton of agencies. They will find you a fully furnished apartment you can walk straight into. They will also take care of all the bureaucracy and paperwork. There are plenty to choose from. The rental prices are so really affordable compared to the awesomeness of the city.
5). Cost of living and lifestyle are great:
If you're struggling to make ends meet, you're not going to have a great time. If you're working at a startup you won't necessarily be making a fortune. But that won't matter, cause you won't be paying a fortune to live. When living costs are lower, everyone is happier. It makes for a nicer environment.
6). There are lots of jobs to choose from:
As startups flock to Berlin, the demand for talent rises massively. This gives you more options for jobs.
Moving here and working in tech. startups has been the best decision of my life. You will not regret it too.
Just in the Bitcoin space:
- Etheruem Dev. HQ is here,
- Ethcore is here,
- Bitwala is here,
(That's just in the Bitcoin space...to name a few).
There are awesome coworking spaces for Bitcoin like Transistor and the Rainmaker Loft
