🗞 Top inspiration snippets
🇩🇪 Berlin & Germany
Unstoppable Finance, Berlin-based DeFi wallet startup, raised €12.5M. Careers.
Junto, Berlin-based edtech company, raised €5M. Careers.
Cyanite, Berlin and Mannheim-based AI based music tagging startup, raised €800k. Careers such empty at the moment.
Gunzilla, Frankfurt-based AAA games developer, raised $46M. Careers.
Pathmonk, Düsseldorf-based AI website conversion uplift startup, raised €1.5M. Careers.
Nuri, Berlin-based digital bank with crypto focus, filed for insolvency. Huh.
Ageras, Danish fintech startup which recently acquired Berlin-based neo-bank Kontist, raised €35M. Careers.
🇩🇪 Handelsblatt has a hit piece on Infarm, Berlin-based vertical farming company. Apparently the money is tight (runway of one-month!) and growth is nowhere to be seen. Ugh.
(Grocery) delivery service news deliver each week! Verdi is suing (€, 🇩🇪) HelloFresh for allegedly preventing workers forming an union. Did you know GoTiger (€, 🇩🇪), Berlin-based niche asian groceries delivery service? Me neither. Look around for VC subsidised coupons!
⛽️ Finally! I always wondered when is the best time to fuel up your car in Germany. Based on the data from ADAC you should do it between 20.00-22.00 and 18.00-19.00.
🇪🇺 Rest of Europe & UK
🤓 Timeless and useful

I wouldn’t mind, would you?
Footer 🤌 for you. Looking for an apartment is taxing; it’s almost all I do besides work. On one viewing today we were like 100. On the other hand, Berlin is great and hiking in the city is a good way to explore: would totally recommend.
