Email Betahaus and ask if you could sit in their event space (comfortable, big enough for you all, and generally unused) while people come up and present their startup to you for five minutes. They're nice people, and there's probably around fifty startups in the building. It's a cool place.

Will do, thanks for the tip :)

Check out co-up, a bunch of startups and community meetups happening there. The people there are quite well connected to berlin startups too. http://co-up.de/events.html

Thanks for the tip!

That seems to be a bad idea as most Germans will not be working from May 17 to 20... and I don't know if the hackers and startup-workoholics actually can resist having one, two or more beers for Herrentag/Vatertag :)

You're right, but that is also exactly the reason we'll be visiting Berlin that weekend. Since the university is also closed that weekend, we won't miss any classes.

Perhaps you can post over at hackful.eu as well (Assuming you've not already done that)

Get in touch with the silicon allee and www.gruenderszene.de, they know everybody. The Gidsy founders are Dutch, definitely get in touch with them.

I'd love to show you guys around (I'm Dutch and living in Berlin), but I will be away during that period (except for 17 in the morning). Get in touch if you have any questions or if I can help with anything.
