Business & Beer, OpenCoffee (Founders meetups in Berlin)

5 points by wheels 19y ago

There are two meetups this week in Berlin for founders. I'm going to try to be at both. Drop me a line if you'll be at either. Today: http://www.fu-berlin.de/wirtschaft/profund/angebote/gruendertreffen/index.html Friday: http://www.deutsche-startups.de/veranstaltungen/52/

Hi Wheeler. Will be there! (On Friday, that is.) Yay... Never been there before though I pondered many times. German "startup scene" mostly not my cup of tea. But if they make it to Hacker News (via you), might be worth a shot.

  I think there will be exactly the german startup scene as you expect it to be... - not many (no?) hackers.

    I think so too. But let's see what it's like.From where I live, it takes me 15 mins on the bike to get there, it will be a sunny urban spring morning, and I love coffee. Though the current non-smoking fad freaks me out ^^

    Well, if dualogy and I are there we'll have at least two. ;-) My real name is Scott and my picture is in the links in my profile, just find me when you're there.

      If I only would have a bike ride of 15 minutes I would probably come ;)

I'll sit this one out, since I'm more interested in code than in startups. I'll likely pop into the Ubuntu release party in C-base on saturday, though. Anyone else planning to be there? http://www.ubuntu-berlin.de/hardy-heron-releaseparty_26.4.2008_c-base http://www.ubuntu-berlin.de/hardy-heron-releaseparty_26.4.20...

  I'd like to be there, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to get away from coding on the weekend.

    Didn't make it to Open Coffee (kept working until about 6:00 a.m. and couldn't pull off the 2-hour turn-around), but a friend of mine is DJ-ing at the party at 22:30, so there's a good chance that I'll drop in for a bit.

For anybody still tracking this: The event was pretty decent. There were a mix of programmers and business folk, free beer and food. I'm almost certain that I'll go back next time.
