🧠 2026 is off to a strong start
Berlin is vibrant again. We saw this at our hackathon last weekend, where 100 builders showed up for two days. The talent density was extremely high, building projects that went far beyond high-level demos.
For the builders who joined this newsletter from last weekend: Welcome.
If you didn’t meet your co-founder on Saturday, get on the matching list. If you know talent that belongs in this room, forward this email to them.
This isn’t just a Berlin story though. There a signals left, right and center in Europe to start building. Find some of them below.
And if you’ve missed out Berlin, our next stop is Paris in two weeks. Register here.
👥 Open Asks
Nicolai (former Director of ML Products at Corti) is solving the information trust crisis by building verified AI training data. Backed by angels from GitHub and Meta, he is looking for Founding Frontend Engineers to own the architecture. If that sounds like you, reach out on Linkedin.
We are forming a list of people who are eager to start building. If you want to get matched and spotlighted, sign up here.

🇪🇺 Funding/Launch Signals
EU Inc is officially on the agenda. At Davos, Ursula von der Leyen backed the 28th Regime, a push to let founders incorporate under a single European structure instead of navigating 27 distinct legal systems.
Another signal from Stockholm: Stilla has announced a $5m Pre-Seed led by General Catalyst.
