There is no need to evoke the up-and-about nature of the Berlin startup scene in order to explain why a Startup Weekend Berlin is taking place, is there? Please mark your calendars for May 4th – 6th for the 3rd Startup Weekend Berlin.

At the event’s core is the same concept that has drawn over 10,000 prior attendees worldwide: startup enthusiasts of different backgrounds come together, share and pitch ideas, form teams and work an entire weekend to finally present a (minimally viable) product to a panel of experts – and then – maybe – launch a startup. Startup Weekend Berlin is hoping to further connect the vibrant creative community of Berlin with the equally thriving startup community. In any case, everybody will go home with new (and yes! important) contacts , potential co-workers and an inspired feeling ( … and possibly a dire case of sleep deprivation.)
