We write engaging articles on tech, leveraging our network to promote them on all of our channels. Check out examples of our work with London & Partners and Sifted.

Looking to expand your business to Germany or connect your startup to new markets? We’re here to help! We’ve worked with companies from Asia, the US and Europe to move to Berlin.
Our Berlin Founders Fund provides equity-free funding for early stage founders to start in Berlin. We also match later-stage founders to our VC/Angel network.
Whether on our campus or in our neighborhood, we’re connected to great offices and living spaces for Berlin’s innovation economy.
Silicon Allee has been instrumental in helping public and private businesses learn more about the Berlin ecosystem. We can produce custom reports based on research, internal data or personal interviews.
Whether it be an inspirational visit to our campus or an in depth delegation to Berlin, tours are our specialty.
We have consulted companies moving to Berlin, developed incredible partnerships, and produced internationally renowned events in the city. We like to think of ourselves as the unofficial welcoming committee for Berlin’s newest entrepreneurs and tech employees.
Silicon Allee was started in 2011 by entrepreneurs Schuyler Deerman, David Knight and Travis Todd. Inspired by their upbringing in the US and time spent in San Francisco, they set out to build a startup community in Berlin with meetups, events and an English-language blog.
In 2016, Silicon Allee joined Factory to build a working, living, and event space for our vibrant startup community in the center of Berlin. We opened the campus in January of 2017, with a stellar group of international and local technology companies in residence.
At the end of 2019 we launched the Berlin Founders Fund, an equity-free fund for early-stage founders. We invest money, time, and our network into founders with great ideas, but we don’t charge for it. The goal is to extend each startup’s runway and help founders raise their first real investment round.
