“Having lived in Helsinki, London, Berlin and San Francisco, I consider myself a true cosmopolitan, someone who does not wave any specific flag.”
“Germany has various startup hotspots and I am convinced, that - thanks to short distances and speedy transportation - they will soon diversify into topical clusters and become equally strong and closely connected.”
“We at Atomico believe that interconnectivity between hubs is a key opportunity for Europe to explore and we think that being able to understand the (actual & potential) movement of founders between hubs will be incredibly valuable.”
“Europe has such a diverse ecosystem and for me it is thrilling to see how people feel and think about moving to another place, because that is what makes it so much fun!”
“What’s great in hubs for startups and investors alike is the concentration of opportunities. But, what exactly is an off-location? If a startup from outside Berlin or London secures VC funding, I deem them even more promising, because they had to get the attention first!”
