Not a conclusion, quite obvious. However I have worked in Berlin also and while of course vastly different in regards to mentality, I cannot see how small startups without a lot of funding could even possibly succeed there as well, save a few special ones. Regulatory and tax hell is everywhere and even though local politicans there at least seem to understand the internet most laws still do not.
