Founders Network is connecting Berlin’s local startup scene with a global network. We’re a mentorship program that facilitates peer-to-peer mentoring for Founders across the world. As Berlin’s startups look to grow, Founders Network can connect our Berlin members with valuable resources they may not have current access to.
Learn, Network, and Engage with entrepreneurs from Berlin
Berlin’s startup scene is just blossoming. Compared to other startup hubs, it’s a small ecosystem in terms of size and funding. Berlin attracts around 50,000 new inhabitants a year and has the highest rate of startups that have relocated from elsewhere according to the Startup Genome Report (2018). With investors like Techstars putting capital into the startup ecosystem, it’s a great time for startups in Berlin.
Founders Network is based in San Francisco, just 45 minutes north of the valley and was built with the Silicon Valley startup founder in mind. At Founders Network, we know that a robust network of other founders is an essential part of any successful tech founder’s startup playbook. Our mentorship program is designed to support our members throughout their startup journey and accelerate their success.
