{Tech: Europe} - Europe’s Builder Community
🧠 Special Thing
We are so back. The Big Berlin Hack was a blast - shoutout to everyone who participated! We had an incredible talent density, so many exciting projects and insanely promising teams. 400+ people queued on Saturday morning as it would be Berghain :)
Shoutout to Rakesh, Alexandre, Simon & Sahbi for winning the main prize, and thanks to everyone for participating.
See you in Munich & Copenhagen or anywhere else in Europe!!!
🇪🇺 What’s happening in Europe?
Emdash launched on GitHub two weeks ago, solving a problem that probably every builder has faced recently: running multiple coding agents in parallel. Instead of having multiple tabs of Claude or Codex open, they built an orchestration app to combine all of this. Check it out!
Berlin based agent builder n8n, has raised their Series C, led by Accel. They collected $180m at a $2.5b valuation, more than doubling their previous unicorn status. That wasn’t the only round Accel led in the past weeks, though. Polars from Amsterdam (which aims to make data processing faster and frictionless) also raised their $18m Series-A with Accel (+ they are also hiring).
Meanwhile, more US companies are branching over to Europe. Perplexity has opened an office in Berlin, which is focused on research as of now (they’re still hiring).
