frequent

organizer here. I'm mostly complaining about the new website:

- still not working on mobile (I'm not using their app), infinite redirects on anything I click

- publishing a meetup is no more intuitive as before making me show up by alone on my meetup at first

- meetup descriptions are plain text now (for concert meetups, I used to post links to buy tickets, embed youtube videos, etc)

- more than 8 participants becomes a clickathon to manage

Thx for the pointer, forgot to publish... should be fine now.

We participate in European research projects contributing to open source solutions and have time to tinker (try building an open source sdr telco solution, create embedded systems to play soccer with drones, etc). We all use Chromebooks, have a flat hierarchy, paperless offices and no meetings. We mostly hack in Python and (vanilla) JavaScript. Come join us!

Being German living in France I don't think an absolute comparison like this is telling. The EEG in Germany ( https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erneuerbare-Energien-Gesetz) fosters development of alternative energy sources at the real cost of guaranteed purchasing prices. A good investment (see adoption https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaik_in_Deutschland) but borne by all through increased electricity costs. I never liked the price hikes but I do think it will spur further innovation in network anf storage while here in France I pay more for access than consumption and rent from owners not interested in changing windows to anything resembling insulation.

I'd add joining a reading circle. Forces a monthly/bimonthly book on me I'd likely not have picked up by myself, discussions afterwards are usually quite insightful, plus you can frequent and support your local bookstore.

Paid. In France internships are regulated (you need to be enrolled as a student), meaning monthly ~600€ + accomodation + restaurant tickets (3€/day) + 50% on transportation + we fly you in and out. Adds to about 1000€/month. Starting net salaries for developers after tax/health/social/pension are not far above that. It's enough to get by in Lille and have a good time. Paris interns get +500€/month for rent, Munich and Plovdiv I'd have to check, Tokio we don't hire trainees at the moment.

I can't speak for running a startup in Berlin but I bootstrapped a small startup in Bavaria a few years ago and while I agree it's not easy I don't think government support is as nonexistent as you claim. After all, you are talking taxpayers money (and you're not TBTF), so fruits are hanging high. Still, try:

1) Founder's Grant

Coming from regular employment back then made you eligible to apply for an "Existenzgründerzuschuss" [1] (sorry, all links in German) with the Agentur für Arbeit [2]. It will pay you the equivalent of unemployment payments (~ 50% of your last brut salary) [2] +300€ for social security for six months. Tax free this is. I got this with my company founded & business plan.

2) Maintain Unemployment Insurance

You can continue to pay into unemployment insurance at the minimum rate (~30€/month) which maintains your payment tenure and status in case your startup doesn't work out.

3) Regional Govt Startup Support Networks

I was living in the north of Bavaria back then, where the "Netzwerk Nordbayern/BayStartup" [4] provided business plan competitions & coaching, workshops on all kind of topics, networking, investor pitches and liasoning, mentoring, plus an open ear. All free of charge. I was a mentor myself for some time and I only have praise for the effort they make to get startups on track.

4) Govt Financing

The KFW [5] provides a few financing programs for founders as part of the (yes) Marshall Plan's European Recovery Programm (ERP). Those are actual credit lines, burn at your own risk... plus you can only apply to those programs through a bank. It's been a while since I looked into the details - on a quick glance [6]:

  program 067:
  - up to 100k€
  - from 2% p.a., no own capital required
  - KFW covers 80% in case of loss, you're liable for 20% to your bank
  
  program 058:
  - up to 500k€
  - from 0.4% p.a., 10%+ own capital required
  - KFW covers 100% in case of loss
  - "Eigenkapital-Charakter" ~ counts like own capital ~ bolsters credit rating

I didn't succeed in applying for those though. Had a bank, they charged me plenty to offer a different package with higher interest and more "exposure" to be guaranteed through yet another bank [6] who eventually declined my application. Another story...

5) Tax "Breaks"

Germany is no low tax country for sure, but you can improvise. Like with a classic GmbH (limited liablity company, bold 25k€ required) you can appoint yourself as CEO without salary, forward your own credit lines (the are all private as you say), pay yourself interest only and no salary. This should put you in the minimum bracket for health insurance, too.

Anyway, my point is there is help available from the government.

And on a side note: those letters you are referring to everybody gets with every entry into the public company registry [8] - startup or not. Note the scammer warning they even had to put on their landing page.

Isn't the "ruining" of cities more due to general lack of affordable space in light of increased urbanization and tourism?

Granted, Airbnb will add its share to the overall shortage, but if I'd take all Airbnb apartments off of any market, would this put rents back to an affordable level or curtail tourism?

Airbnb reminds me a bit of eBay - good idea led to an influx of professional sellers, which at some point had to be regulated (register as business, taxable income) and in growing up, the platform lost most of its appeal and discoverability of the things it once was created for. Still fills a large enough demand to be around.

I'll call the same for Airbnb: There's demand for staying at a place which does not feel like a hotel and I found the Berlin ruling made for Airbnb to be going in a good direction (Zwecksentfremdungsverbot - use Airbnb if you rent out part of your place, but if you rent on as a business, it must be registered as such). I'll expect other cities to follow suit, because it also postpones having to address the underlying issue.
