Curious to what this means for the Berlin tech scene in general. Travis was certainly one of the trailblazers and a high visibility local startup (next to probably Soundcloud).
Yes, I have fond memories of hanging out in their offices above beta house. Amazingly welcoming bunch of people and one of the best things about the Berlin tech scene for me. Hope it works out well for them. I know they were never in it for the money but they deserve a decent payout for their years of commitment.
European tech scene is completely dominated by US companies, this one company (unknown to people outside the tech scene) won't change that at all.
Why does it matter whether or not a tech company is known by people outside the tech scene?
