- bogomipz 10y agoAnd this is part of what makes Berlin and specifically Kreuzberg charming and unique. Google already has an office in Mitte where it is not out of place. I really don't like the ideas of these giants co-opting start-up spaces. Once companies have reached the FB and Google size they are kind of the antithesis of start ups. This just feel like they are building "right of first refusal acquisition" spaces. I realize this sounds curmudgeonly but I feel like their money and influence in these spaces encourages building acquisition targets rather than encouraging people to build their own Google and Facebooks.
