Business & Beer, OpenCoffee (Founders meetups in Berlin)

5 pointswheels9 comments

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/

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?

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.

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 ;)

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.
