It’s our second day at South by Southwest, Austin’s international festival of media and tech.
While enjoying the free food and drink, we meet up with Stefan and Kerry, who both work for Berlin Partner, a company that offers business and technology support for investors and entrepreneurs in Berlin.
They talk to us about the ins and outs of everything that’s going on in this cultural capital. We talk about the growth of startups, and why Berlin’s becoming so popular for entrepreneurs.
Discussing how it compares with Austin, we sure learned a lot and had another very interesting and very successful day at the festival.
”Berlin is like New York in the 80s, and that was a great time.” - Stefan
