🗞 Top inspiration snippets
Some from the list were also funded a week before and I missed them. In international section: Estonia rules!
🇩🇪 Berlin & Germany
Patronus, Berlin-based elderly care startup raised €27M. Careers.
Mondu, Berlin-based SME financing company, raised €20M in debt. Careers.
Climatiq, Berlin-based climate intelligence company, raised €6M. Careers.
cylib, Aachen-based battery recycling startup, raised €3.6M seed. Careers maybe here?
Wunder Mobility, Hamburg-based mobility services provider, raised €12M. Careers.
QuantPi, Saarbrücken-based explainable AI startup, raised €2.5M. No careers.
PAIR finance, Berlin-based collections company has a new majority shareholder, Pollen Street, an asset management company.
Rosy fintech times are over; N26, Berlin-based digital bank, had 14.4% more of net losses mostly attributable to increased compliance cost.
Since this is a job newsletter, maybe you wanna go and work for Sebastian Kurz’s (ex 🇦🇹 wunderkind, hmm?) cybersecurity startup (€20M seed) Dream Security? I am convinced sales will be good, but could not find their website.
More than 400 TikTok employees in Berlin founded an union (🇩🇪). Apparently poor salaries and a lot work. Makes me think, because I was including them on the handpicked list and maybe they did not deserve it?
Rumors have it Getir will be buying Gorillas (last I read for €7B, 1/3 of the last round); no link because things can already change on Monday when you will be reading this. Anyone surprised?
I have never made it to Berghain, also because I did not try yet; but there are rumors it will close, reports 20 Percent Berlin.
📢 Shoutout time! Two lads from the UK started Berlin focused Data For Good podcast. Give it a listen on Youtube or Spotify.
layoffs.fyi reports 0 layoffs in Berlin. Yeah!
r/berlin choice of the week: favorite restaurants from your own country? I had Sarajevo Berlin in Wedding, solid! Closest to Slovenian so far, hue hue.
It sounds extreme, but if a household of 3 unplugged all stand-by devices this could save €100 per year. Had no idea, but charging your phone will cost you €2.80 per year. More at Berliner Zeitung. (🇩🇪)
Well, shoot, Ryanair cut 40% of its flights from BER, because the airport is expensive. Instead, maybe you fly to Washington with Delta (from 25th May onwards)?
🇪🇺 Rest of Europe & UK (Top 5)
Sunly, Estonian clean energy play, raised €200M. Careers.
Factorial, Barcelona-based HR-management platform, raised $120 Series C. Careers.
Homa, Paris-based mobile games developer, raised $100M. Careers.
Connex One, Manchester-based customer engagement platform, raised £93M. Careers.
Crisp, Amsterdam-based ultra fresh online grocer, raised €75M. Careers.
🤓 Timeless and useful
Maybe you want to check out Nonsense laboratory from Google if you ever need a company name. I found Mixer useful; for example combining “handpicked” + “for” +" “berlin” returned heardicke, harlichen, heardicher and hearliched. Ok, maybe not.
😅 Meanwhile
This is a footer 🤡 for you. Did you know that in order to play the role of an insane and mentally depressed person in the movie “Joker”, Joaquin Phoenix tried to find an affordable flat in Berlin? (via r/berlin) If you liked it, hit that ♡ button.
