I got Claude to fill two floors

GMGM and welcome to Community Alpha Part 124, while the rest of the world thinks summer is for slacking off, I’m busier than ever.

Big things are shifting in Berlin, and we are right in the middle of it.

• Claude is All-In: Expanding our Anthropic-backed meetup across two entire floors.

• The SF of Europe: A new chapter is coming for w3.hub (funding, mentoring, and scaling).

• Community Highlights: What's happening on the ground next week.

Big Tech Sleeps on Berlin AI. We Don't.

Majority still sleeps on Berlin’s AI ecosystem. It’s time to change that.

I dreamed about hosting an official Claude meetup for 12 months. I knew it would be big, but this is turning into our biggest meetup ever as we approach 1,000 signups.

Berlin has an immense amount of raw talent, even if local institutions aren't supporting builders enough. But we can come together, shed light, and help boost the next unicorns right here from Kreuzberg.

That’s why Navid and I are happy to announce that we are expanding the meetup across two full floors at w3.hub so we can double the capacity:

• Ground Floor Track: Everyday use cases, productivity, and real-world workflows for everyone.

• Floor 1 Track: Advanced technical deep dives, agentic systems, and code for the geeks.

Let’s explore real-world cases on July 30th and show the world what Berlin actually has to offer. Phase one is about bringing everyone together.

In the future, we will organize smaller, curated, and niche-specific activations.

It’s only the beginning…

The SF of Europe

Berlin has been belittled or mocked a lot over the last few years. That era is over.

More and more top-tier talent is making a name for itself right now, founding incredible companies, and the numbers back it up:

We as w3.hub are going to play an even more active role in this movement.

What that looks like specifically will be revealed very soon. But think funding, mentoring, and high-level connections.

This offer goes out to everyone who is either looking for support or wants to offer support to the next generation of founders.

Be among the first to join this new chapter of the hub.

Community on Ground

Beyond our growing home gym setup, we are keeping everyone locked in by offering touchpoints and sharp insight sessions every single week.

Here is what's running on the floor:

• ACT Berlin: Bringing together the sharpest builders in AI, combined with expert sessions that dive deep into technical topics.

• Community Brunch: The place to showcase what you’ve been building and get honest, constructive feedback from your peers.

• Proof of Paddle: Our classic ping-pong format designed for a chilled drink and meeting your neighbors.

• Wen Walk: Berlin’s first tech-related walking club to have meaningful conversations away from screens.

Beyond these formats, we are always eager to help you bring your own event ideas to life. If you want to host something at the hub, just reach out to the team.

Never miss an event from us:

Go with the flow, come walk, work & live with us.
