Hey, dear reader!
Last weekend, Hamburg turned into Germany's AI hotspot. 400 people showed up at the Cursor AI Hackathon to hack and ship at what felt like the city's biggest builder energy in years 🔥
This is exactly the spirit Hamburg has been missing — and what a way to kick off 2026. If you were there, I'd love to hear what you shipped. Reply to this email and tell me about it.
Speaking of getting things done: these cold winter days, you might find yourself hunting for a cosy spot to work from. I asked folks from our community to share their favourite laptop-friendly cafés and put together a Google Map with 15 spots to start. The list will grow as more places come in. Let me know if you have a hidden gem I should add.
And if you're looking for a proper desk without breaking the bank, here are a few options:
Körber Start-Hub — Free membership if you're under 30 and building an impact startup
Impact Hub — Great community, affordable membership with perks beyond just the space
SPACE — Free desks for folks working on tech or media projects
Hope this helps you find your next productive corner of the city ☕
With that said, let's see what's happening in Hamburg this week.
P.S. Also, check out most anticipated startups and tech events of 2026 and open incubator programs you can apply for.
