Ask HN: Where in Berlin are most of the startups?

10 pointsrdl4 comments

I'm visiting Berlin right now (after speaking at 30c3), and wondering which areas of town have the greatest density of startups. There are various hackerspaces, but a lot of what's going on seems to be less commercial than in SFBA. Would definitely be interested in seeing what the commercial startup scene is like, too.

You can check Mitte and Friedrichshain areas. I work at southern Schönhauser Allee / Torstraße, and there is a lot of startup life here, particularly you may be interested to visit St. Oberholz Café at Rosenthaler Platz, popular cafe / co-working place among startupers and guys with Macbooks.

Thanks! That was exactly what I was looking for. Particularly trying to figure out of Neukoelln is "up and coming" or "a neighborhood too far".

I am not sure Neukölln is popular among commercial startups in software development. AFAIK it's rather attractive for art students / expats.
