Europe's Builder Community
🚀 Big News — @elevenlabsio is joining us for our first AI Hackathon in Munich! With partners like Tacto, @MistralAI , @weaviate_io , and TUM.ai, we’re bringing the AI community together! After Berlin & Munich, next up: Paris! techeurope.io
Recently met a company who build in-person in Stuttgart. People sleeping in the office multiple days a week. If you are not able to build this culture in Europe for your company, maybe you as a founder are the problem - as it is possible.
@DominiqueCAPaul With time passing, you’ll hopefully realize that giving up your identity for money and fame is not a great path. Most highly successful European founders could never afford SF, but they still made it. It’s an insane white boy/rich kid privilege to hang in one of…
Our HomeTown Hackathon was a blast - once again
Amazing wrap-up of the first 1/2 year of @techeurope_ See you this fall in London, Tbilisi, Stockholm, Paris, Berlin, Munich and maybe even more cities across Europe. Stay tuned. Europe has risen, thanks @realDonaldTrump 🤯
If you are deeply technical in one of those domains, come join us :)
What are the best hardware/bio/chemical etc. networks to tap into in Europe? I want more of these people at The Sandbox. Right now 90% are CS people, which is cool, but a mix would be insane. If that's you, apply via: sandbox.techeurope.io
Apply Now for The Sandbox
Most European accelerators push founders toward building at the local maximum: take ideas, demo day pitches, markup wins. At The Sandbox, you don’t need to build a company or raise money. Just explore what you’re truly curious about. Apply now if you are a technical & curious…
Please join us :) we really need support
@techeurope_ will run 10+ more hackathons this year all over Europe. Other than that we are launching new initiatives like The Sandbox and much more to empower technical builders. Therefore I am looking for: (1) Media/Content working student (2) Founders Associate Intern To…
Berlin Hackathon - First Impressions
Europe is Back 2 Days of Building in Berlin are over now 130 people >40 projects submitted 🚀
lets go day 2 🏆
Day 1 is wrapped up -> Looking forward to Day 2 and all of the projects. Europe (Berlin this time) is cooking 🔥
Bringing the right people together and create the energy Berlin needs to build @techeurope_ 🖤 Thanks @blwiertz for making this possible!
Reach out if you know something ;)
Who got a big (60-100 person) office in Paris who wants to host us for a hackathon? Looking for a venue for our September hackathon right now. Can be Startup/Scaleup office, co-working, whatever.
We need to define our target persona. For these 3 months, we’re looking for people who are all in - fully committed. If that’s not you, that’s totally fine. You can absolutely be successful and clock out at 5pm. But then The Sandbox is not for you.
What’s wrong with 5pm? Can’t pick up kids from school? Avoidance of traffic? The random stuff tech Twitter says
Apply to The Sandbox: sandbox.techeurope.io
🏜️ The Sandbox is now live! A 3-month, zero-equity program in Berlin for Europe’s most curious, technical minds - before the product, the pitch, or the co-founder. No bad deals. No 5pm exits. No business bros. Just space to build seriously. Apply by July 27 👇…
I am looking for a Freelance or Working Student Designer for @techeurope_ asap. Reach out or comment if you know someone / thats you

We are just getting started
A year ago, I started our first Berlin AI Hackathon with @techeurope_ - simply because I wanted to join one and none existed. Now, I see more and more people building their own events from scratch. That’s real ecosystem progress. So bullish right now on London, Paris, and…
70+ builders on a Saturday in Berlin. Yes, It's so much easier to just blame the ecosystem, but why don't you do your part in rebuilding it?
🤝
Excited to share that @techeurope_ is partnering with @OpenAI for all our upcoming hackathons across Europe! We kicked things off in London last saturday and am looking forward to way more hack's thoughout the upcoming months. 💥 OpenAI credits for all builders.👇
We’ve reached a point where moving to the Bay Area is no longer the contrarian move it’s made out to be. For ambitious Europeans, it’s become the default path. But ambition alone isn’t enough. We need contrarian minds, people who refuse to accept their environment as fixed, and…
Hot take: Palo Alto is worth leaving Europe for
From our AI Fireside Cchat
“When I worked on Google Search... evals were effectively the core thing of the team. The effort was insane.” — Malte Ubl (@cramforce), CTO of @vercel In our AI Fireside Chat, he shares why they're now embracing evals-driven development at Vercel, and what it takes to get it…
