TechCrunch held a Berlin Meetup yesterday. And boy, was it a blast. Nearly 30 sponsors, 300 people, fantastic venue, great after-party. Oh, and I did actually do some work too, gathering stories from the German startup scene (watch this space) and taking a few videos which I’ll upload shortly.

In the meantime, check out the pictures I took, and a little video interview with me, shot by Toksta, a startup with an a IM solution for communities.

My thanks for co-organising the event go to twidox and our venue hosts Imedo.

    Mike. Wow. What a hat. On my visits to Berlin I have been pretty impressed with cutting-edge local fashion but never actually embraced it. You went the whole hog. Good work.

    Paul Fisher – FYI my hat was of a type traditionally favoured by journalists, as one can put a press card in the ribbon, on this occassion “TechCrunch”. I thought you’d know that ;-)
