Guias para criar um Origin
Encontre ou crie um Origin em Berlin
The Berlin startup scene has grown from a scrappy post-reunification experiment into one of Europe’s most important tech ecosystems, with strengths in marketplaces, fintech, climate tech, and developer tools. Founders and engineers cluster in Mitte and Kreuzberg, where coworking spaces, accelerators, and university programs at TU Berlin and ESMT create a dense loop of talent and capital. Berlin’s famous pragmatism shapes the community: meetings are less about status and more about shipping, hiring, and surviving the next funding round. Recurring formats include founder breakfasts, pitch evenings, and coworking open houses where early teams can find their first engineers and designers. The international scene is a real asset — English is common in meetups, which helps founders who are new to Germany. Starting a startup Origin here works best with a narrow vertical and a regular rhythm: a monthly AI builders night or a climate tech founders table builds a reliable following faster than a generalist founder group.
