Berlin’s tech hub, Factory, wowed the “Geeks on a Plane” tour with its unique energy and innovative vibe. Led by 500 Startups’ Dave McClure, the event brought top startup founders, investors, and entrepreneurs together for lively networking and a pirate-themed pitch contest. Though no immediate investments were made, McClure expressed newfound interest in Berlin, dubbing it the “New York of Europe” with promising potential. With international guests all the way from Silicon Valley, Factory is quickly establishing itself as a vital platform for Berlin’s tech scene, energizing both local and visiting innovators.
