Due to my holiday, I did not manage to prepare the April collection, so this is extremely long. Funding rounds are separately listed at the bottom.
Please let me know how you would like me to deliver this content. I could do two separate emails:

11 Reasons Not to Become Famous by Tim Ferriss
Viral views on TikTok seem to be in decline (Beyond Virality: Understanding TikTok's New Growth Patterns)
Week of 3rd (April)
💧 March was the wettest March since 2000 in Brandenburg. Please do not say: “What is with global warming now, hä?”
🚴♀️ In 2022 there were almost 27k bikes stolen in Berlin. I wonder how this compares to other flat cities like Amsterdam. I could not find any data on “stolen bikes per capita” or “% of bikes stolen” for context.
🦾 You can talk to Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI in Munich somewhere in May or June. Apply here. Many other cities are available outside Germany. Good luck and see you there!
🥴 Here is a story about how tech can make your life miserable ("I loved Monzo, until I got robbed in Berlin" byAli Griswold. In fact, instead of tech, it is probably poor product management at Monzo without proper customer journey discovery? Or is it understaffed operations? We will never know.
Back to Germany: on the accountability of Auslandbehörde, a good discussion on Reddit. Ignorance and arrogance are a problem, and there is plenty of it in Germany. You can pair this fact with Why is Germany a rich country? (🇩🇪), a great wake-up call from 5 years ago. A fun fact: Made in Germany was considered shit in the 19th century, a cheap copy-paste of the products from the UK.
🤡 Nice! Deutsche Bahn was on time only 65.2% of the time, which is the worst record since … ever? And “delayed” stats only count after more than 6 minutes of delay. Nevertheless, the big boss took home €2.24M for his performance, more than double compared to last year. (🇩🇪) Maybe it was because of freight? Anyways, double nice!
layoffs.fyi & other sources: Flink is supposedly raising funds at a lower valuation. Alpakas, another grocery delivery service, is insolvent; DiscoEat, restaurant software, is, after 2019, insolvent again; Quofox, online courses, is also insolvent.
r/berlin choice of the week: this post and video about 4€ art vending machines. In the comments also some opinions that it ain’t as cool as it seems. A direct link to the map is here.
In short: SAP wants to invest in Aleph Alpha, the German OpenAI based in Heidelberg; Sparkasse Berlin tripled its profits in 2022 (€132M); insolvent Natural Mojo and Skingood from Invincible Brands were bought by Göde Group; Got Photo (fotograf.de) was taken over by PE fund EQT.
If you are by any chance thinking about a short trip outside Berlin for a couple of days over Easter, check out this crowd wisdom at r/berlin.
💔 I was a big fan of the platform, but I agree: Twitter is dying, and Elon lost much of his previous “genius” karma. A sad sight and a lesson on how not to manage social media. I cannot believe I am writing this, but I started to like LinkedIn. You can follow handpicked page there as well.
🎪 It is already April, my my how time flies: what to do in April in Berlin by exberliner. A good list as always.
✍🏼 I published about the benefits of work journaling last Thursday. In case you missed it: I recommend doing a monthly summary of your main achievements.
How much would you need to pay Russian soldiers to defect for EU citizenship? $100k would cost $20B. An interesting thought experiment.
Week of 17th (April)
😇 I am still looking for your feedback. Why do you read handpicked? What should I change? What should I do more of?
❤️ Berlin has the best public transport in the world! (20k people in 50 cities were surveyed; 97% of Berliners are happy with it)
🏘️ Based on that viral 150m line for the apartment viewing disaster in Charlottenburg, Berliner Zeitung interviewed a real estate agent. Worth a read(🇩🇪); I was fascinated that over a decade ago, landlords were fighting for tenants with 500€ IKEA vouchers. Includes some tips to increase your chances: have your Unterlagen well organised and prepare a good & short intro e-mail.
🪫 I found an Apple USB-C/USB adapter. I thought of taking it but then remembered it could be tempered. In a similar fashion, never “ever ever plug your phone into a public charger, especially if you can’t see where the cable goes,” says Marques Brownlee.
🎟️ To clarify any remaining Berlin-related doubts about the 49 EUR Deutschland ticket, the best place is to check out Nicolas’ All About Berlin.
🥷 Last Generation/Extinction Rebellion started to target the rich, at least the hotels they go to (great comments on r/berlin). Apparently, they also plan to bring Berlin to a standstill in the last week of April and the beginning of May. Better leave your Mercedes parked!
🚰 You can save a lot of money (€100+) by changing your shower head. But first, you will need to get access to the Stiftung Warentest test.
😐 Bad News: Agrilution (vertical farming, Munich) close to liquidation; EyeEMinsolvent; Brands4Friends out of the business end of June, nextmarkets (Cologne) also in trouble; RIP Avocargo (16 people, Berlin); Econos (Munich) liquidated.
r/berlin choice of the week is this great advertisement from BVG again. I hold many Swabians close to my heart, but this is funny. (context: Swabians are considered cheap/frugal. Related useless fact: in Slovenia, the pejorative for all Germans is Swabians, so my friends now sometimes call me Švabo.)

📢 I discovered the writings of one of the handpicked readers,Christian Näthler, and he knows how to write. I liked whatever I read, for example:
In short: Klarna will compete with check24 and Idealo in Germany; Personio grew 137% in 2021 (!) but also had 4x the losses (112M); Lilium (flying taxi, Munich) could be thrown off the NASDAQ because the share is a penny stock; Union NGG called for a strike of Lieferando riders.
Week of 24th (April)
🔒 What does your password look like? Maybe you should do some reviews and turn on 2FA wherever possible.

💰It is a lot of responsibility, but you can easily earn a starting salary of over 100k as a flight controller (🇩🇪, €). Check out the website of DFS for more information (also in English).
😅 I was exactly (redacted) years old when I learned that the Kurzstrecke ticket for BVG expires in 20 minutes.
📈🏢 Five cool charts on square meter price of apartments to rent in large German cities. Berlin still “cheap” but with extremely wide range.
💘 Spring is almost here, huehue, and love might be in the air. Maybe a good time to install one of the dating apps if you are also one of ONE MILLION SINGLE people in Berlin? One million. Hard to believe; probably tax class 1.
🐒 Slightly love related, I randomly found a great SubstackWood From Edenand one of the essays I read was "Why do women have breasts?". There are several explanations, and it all starts with monkeys.
😔 Bad news: A lot of silent layoffs, but nothing was published officially; While Allianz wants to sell their share in N26, the neo-bannk is, according to FT, struggling to grow up also because of leadership problems (€), partially summarized here (🇩🇪).
r/berlin choice of the week are these insights into the graffiti community. I learned about crossing etiquette. An extremely controversial topic with strong opinions on both sides.
💬 Briefly: Tier leaving Vienna; insolvent nextmarkets saved by an investor, London-based Shift took over Berlin-based Movinga; amazingly-named XXXLutzgot a green light for the takeover of Home24; Getir raised $500M at a halved valuation ($6.5B); Bosch says it will deploy AI in the production already this year and not in 2025 as initially planned; Razor Group acquired competitor Stryze.
Week of 1st (May)
🤔 Do you know any shortcuts/tips/tricks on how to get an appointment at Ausländerbehörde? If so, please share in the comments or drop me an email. Thank you so much!
🚃 Lost something on public transport? Here is the website to deal with it. It will be sold at an auction if you do not pick it up in 6 weeks. These are done quarterly, and see you at Auktionshaus Beier in July because I need some AirPods.
🚗 Germany is extremely dependent on the automotive industry and their exports. Don’t quote me on that, but the big ones make roughly 1/3 of their revenues in China. Now, look at these charts and think: What sets modern cars apart? What does it mean for Germany? Soon, the brand will be the only differentiator.
🙌 Pragmatic Engineer (Gergely Orosz) gave me a nice shoutout tweet. A must-follow if you are interested in tech/engineering. One of my recent favourites is this interview with Steve Yegge, which is full of interesting insights.
🤖 If you are like me, you maybe feel worried that your ChatGPT prompt game is weak (especially after reading all those "prompt influencers" milking the trend on the bird app). A while ago, I even linked to a “Prompt Engineer” as a future profession. But according toEthan Mollick's Guide to Prompting, we do not have much to worry about. In a nutshell: just try things out and then repeat.
📦 eBay-Kleinanzeigen, one of the best German websites (😅) with 40M monthly users, will finally rename to Kleinanzeigen on 16.5 after being sold to Norwegian classifieds specialist Adevinta in 2021. Most of it will stay the same; I am delighted my “Top Zufriedenheit” status will also be migrated.
😔 Bad news: N26 is laying off 71 (4%), Knister Grill (Munich) insolvent; Flinkshrank for 8k (down from 21k!) employees since April 2022.
r/berlin choice of the week: activists vandalized a few luxury shops on K’damm, and of course, the commentariat delivered again on all sides of the spectrum. Also, BVG has a new type of tram that looks like a car. 😅
✈️ This week I learned that BER Terminals 1 and 2 are connected. You can use any security control to access gates at both terminals.
💬 Briefly: SellerX (Berlin) is rumoured to be in a sale process; HelloFresh and Delivery Hero are, unsurprisingly, growing slower: check their Investor Relations pages for details and take it with a pinch of salt; Bosch plans to purchase TSI Semiconductors' assets for $1.5 billion to enhance its semiconductor business with silicon carbide chips; Finn (Munich) CEO Max-Josef Meier resigned after harassing several female colleagues on a company event.
Week of 8th (May)
🚂 If you have decided to take on €49 ticket, Exberliner prepared a nice list of suggestions for excursions from Berlin. Worth a save!
🥷HR people, beware. Over a fifth of younger employees considered leaving you, mostly because they are paid badly and do not feel appreciated.
🤑 Here is a summary of research on money and happiness. I like Nick’s conclusion: Increased income is associated with greater happiness for lower-income individuals. For high-income, unhappy individuals, further income is unlikely to increase happiness. For high-income, happy individuals, while more income could enhance happiness, the effort required may not be worth it.
🔐 I am surprised to see #7. Do yourself a favour: stop using similar passwords for different sites and use 2FA wherever possible.
😔 Bad news: CleverShuttle (Berlin) insolvent; Shopify 20% of employees (according toGergely Oroszmost of German org).
r/berlin choice of the week is an interesting Reddit AMA from an U-Bahn driver from a year ago.
💬 Briefly:
Getir wants to own them all and is reportedly buying Flink—enjoy it while it lasts;
Tier reportedly selling itself;
Vice News, a former alter news source loved by millennials and eventually copied by everyone, is in serious trouble;
TeamViewer from Ba-Wü posted 13% YoY growth (151M);
SAP wants to enter LLMs with an investment into Aleph Alpha—it will surely be expensive;
Lilium (Munich) needs/wants to raise €250M;
founder of once-hyped Gorillas, Kagan Sümer, is building something new in HealthTech called Mirror (no website yet);
his other three colleagues founded meal-as-a-service for restaurants, Tasty Urban.
Week of 15th (May)
✌️ Here is another reminder to check out my article with 40+ questions you can ask at the job interview. Disclosure: not written by ChatGPT!
🌟 Sifted is inviting you to Sifted Sessions in Berlin on Thursday, 25th of May. Free for startups! I’d meet you there, but I sadly won’t be in Berlin.
👻 Like all the startups beyond Series B, Bolt also plans to become profitable soon, specifically in the next 12 months, and then IPO in 2025. They might also do payments? More at Reuters. Meantime, Lyft, another Uber competitor, is firing 1100 employees.
⚡️ Remember all those predictions on the Russian gas and the collapse of Germany? Here is an interesting article about the concept of substitutes in economics (the fallacy: “When the average person thinks about a 40% reduction in natural gas supplies, they implicitly assume that each natural gas-dependent industry must cut its usage by 40%.”), but it is also worth reading the comments for differing opinions (= free markets are BS.)
👀 Besides your burgers and curries, Lieferando started to deliver 100 different MediaMarkt products inside the Berlin ring (useful if you urgently need a phone charger or a phone, lol? and bad for their competitor Arive). Food & high margin product delivery is probably here to stay, but groceries? I think not.
📚Blinkist, a Berlin-based app that always felt like cheating to me, was bought by Go1 from Down Under; nobody asked me for my opinion, but a good time to exit with all the Generative AI knocking on the door! Now I should probably go back to my book.
🌊 Have you ever heard of Seaflooding? Me neither, but it reads like a great idea. Flooding parts of the Sahara to reduce the ocean levels? Plus, make some energy on the way? Let’s do it!
👟 Adidas is stuck with €1B worth of Yeezy sneakers since the man lost his mind, but, amongst other batshit crazy stuff, found a purpose in antisemitism. They plan to sell them gradually and partially donate the proceeds. (€, 🇩🇪) What a problem to have.
⛴️ Exberliner delivers again! Berlin has plenty of ferries; I see myself using some in the summer. This article also made me think I need a “handpicked Berlin bucket list.”
😔 Bad news: nobody is publishing news about layoffs anymore! There are three options: 1) all layoffs are done; 2) all layoffs are silent; 3) nobody is laying off. I vote for 2). Infarm leaving Berlin & Europe; okäse (Köln) insolvent.
r/berlin choice of the week is this DDR map of Berlin from 1988; comments deliver as usual.
💬 Briefly:
swedish Northvolt plans to build a battery gigafactory in Schleswig-Holstein (and employ 3k people) with support from the state and Bund - careers;
Revolut’s CFO is leaving, which is never a good sign, especially after problems with acquiring a banking licence in the UK. On a more positive note: they will start to sell ETFs via Berlin’s Upvest;
Trivago, the troubled aggregator of the aggregators, changed almost their complete board;
VW will restructure Cariad, its software arm, replacing its CEO with Peter Bosch (ex-Bentley);
Google did not release Bard in the EU because of GDPR/regulation worries;
Unstoppable Finance (Berlin-based crypto play) wants to get a banking license in 2024;
Mobileye will do automated assistance and navigate-on-pilot functions for Porsche;
FS Italiane ordered 40 locomotives from Siemens worth €300M;
Rheinmetall is planning to start production in Ukraine.
Week of 22nd (May)
🚴♀️ If you have ever wondered how many bikes pass a certain checkpoint in Berlin, you have your answers here. (via this post on r/berlin)
👀 I found out about Himmel Unter Berlin, an exclusive invite-only exhibition. I did enter the waitlist, but if I could be your +1, please let me know. 🙏 I am cool, promised!
💸 After eight years of rental price caps, landlords (incl. mine) just seem to love ignoring the rules and ask for too much rent! (🇩🇪) Analysis of 6K cases in 2021 shows that 98% were overcharged. Hah.
Bitpanda, an Austrian crypto investing platform, jumped on the AI hype train and will invest $10M in an AI chatbot. Ok.
In Saxony, AfD’s Sebastian Wippel brought the topic of chemtrails to the state parliament. What’s next, Flat Earth?
Sifted reports that Bolt is close to buying Tier. There are still some micro-mobility companies left, but I am still unsure how such a seasonal business can be profitable long-term. Bolt is betting on many horses, and only time will tell if we will still see so many scooters lying around in 2 years. Related:
☝️I previously recommended Matt Levine and his Money Stuff, and this week he wrote about blitzscaling of Uber being possibly illegal. The VC-subsidised “winner takes all” mentality caused partial destruction of competition and could be considered predatory pricing. Worth a read (second chapter)!
😔 Bad news: nothing to report. So instead, data from last week’s poll: 26% (41) of voters know 10+ people laid off since April 1st, and 38% do not know anyone. The rest (36%) are in-between. Hard to draw conclusions, but clearly, silent layoffs are happening.
r/berlin choice of the week is a flat directory of smaller real estate companies. Good luck if you are on a search now.
💬 Briefly: Tesla will start spending on marketing (inevitable with all the competition); ThyssenKrupp wants to IPO its hydrogen unit Nucera (careers) in June for 4B; Cara Care founder Jesaja Brinkmann ALSO behaved inappropriately towards female colleagues at a party in December and is OUT; Intel also wants to invest in LLM developers Aleph Alpha from Heidelberg; after Mercedes also VWis leaving Russia; DB ordered 73 new ICEs (🇩🇪) for €2B and wants to hire thousands—careers; ATU was hacked (🇩🇪)—I wonder if my car data is LOST or STOLEN.
Week of 29th (May)
📉 Germany is, because of a second negative quarter in a row, officially in a mild recession (GDP fell by 0.3% for the last quarter). Well. On the other hand, some startups (esp. renewables) were hiring extensively last year, as the analysis of Sifted shows. To me, Helsing from the Sifted list sounds promising, but ask them if they have a product already. Careers.
👎 Most of the Google/Amazon/other reviews are useless. First, a lot of them are fake and second; they can be bought, and third, they are skewed because the majority of people never review.Gergely Oroszdid an extensive analysis of Glassdoor reviews after layoffs and I think the whole thing proves the point that looking at them is useless and a waste of time.
💩 OpenAI founder Sam Altman said they might pull ChatGPT out of the EU because of the regulation shortly after he also told US regulators that AI should be regulated. I guess only his regulation is the correct regulation?
🛒 Instead of selling itself to Getir, Flink raised €150M from existing investors (they took a haircut to the highest valuation at €2.5B, now at around €1B). In addition, they are letting 100 employees in HQ go and are pulling out of France after their €100M Cajoo investment (🇩🇪, €). On top, Aldi Süd will experiment with delivery around Mülheim (🇩🇪) this July. Are you bullish or bearish?
☝️Big organisations are often arrogant and inefficient. It recently happened again to Microsoft, as reported in this anecdote where Satya Nadella scolded his R&D team. Another good lesson that the size and throwing money at things often doesn’t work.
😅 One of the weirdest political debates I have seen since in Berlin is around the closing of Friedrichstrasse for traffic. Now it will be open again from the 1st of July. But hey, what is the point of just closing a street without planting trees and making it much more pedestrian-friendly? They did it in many other cities, and it worked. Half-assed attempts make no sense.
✈️ Here is a longer profile in German of Ryanair and its success (🇩🇪) after their annual report. They are profitable, are expanding their fleet and want to hire 10k.
🧨 Before joining N26, you might want to read this great analysis from Miriam at Sifted. Bullish or bearish?
🐟 Here you have an Insta post of some of the best lakes around Berlin, which you should pair with this temperature monitoring when the time comes. From my perspective, the time is not here yet.
I tried what3words a couple of times, and I remember thinking, “Wow, what a great idea”, before going back to using Google Maps. This week I learned they burned £119M to generate £2.5M in revenue in the last six years. What a time to be alive. This, kids, is what a vitamin looks like instead of a painkiller.
☄️Great news. There is probably no imminent danger of getting erased by an asteroid: We still have at least 1000 years left on Earth unless we destroy it ourselves first!
😔 Bad news: Circus (Hamburg, 35/25%); Meta 6000 (unknown for Germany); Moss(Berlin, 30), Flink (Berlin, 100).
💡 Speaking of layoffs: I have previously linked to “how to act” guidance, but it was not as good as this LinkedIn post from Mayuri Reddy. Read it and share it.
🇹🇭 I have never been to Thailand or Thai Park yet, and this is changing soon; Exberliner has tips on what to eat in Thai Park. I am going with Pad Thai. See you around!
r/berlin choice of the week is this discussion about Pfandpiraten and how much they can earn. Fascinating! “They estimated that about 928,000 people actively collect Pfand in Germany. Of them, 56% make less than 4€ a day. Of them, 28% collect enough that it is their primary income.”
💬 Briefly: Solaris Bank is raising fresh money (€50M); Klarna moved its goal to reach profitability this summer to “this year” and is reportedly “on track”; Flix is expanding like there is no tomorrow: India will be its 42nd market; Neeva, a Google search ads-free alternative full of ex-Google execs, is no more; Meta was fined a record €1.2B for illegal data transfers from the EU to the US beating the previous record of €746M by Amazon.
