Berlin Founder CommunityBuild Your Network is the always-on community for startup founders in Berlin. Connect with founders building in mobility tech, climate tech, e-commerce, SaaS, and Web3, find mentors who've done it before, and get in front of investors actively looking at Berlin deals.
Berlin's startup ecosystem spans mobility tech, climate tech, e-commerce, SaaS, and Web3, supported by Point Nine Capital, Project A, Rocket Internet, Factory Berlin, and HU Berlin. Berlin is Europe's startup capital by volume — home to more early-stage companies than any other European city. Its creative culture, lower cost of living compared to London, and an influx of international founder talent have produced breakout companies across mobility (Tier), climate tech (Enpal), and e-commerce (Zalando, HelloFresh). Factory Berlin anchors the most active co-working and VC ecosystem in continental Europe.
