SoundCloud’s Alexander Ljung on why Berlin is a “magical” place to be based



Berlin has gained a reputation as an up-and-coming city for startups over the past couple of years, and SoundCloud is leading a pack of startups offering original, stylish, consumer-focused services from the German capital.

We caught up with co-founder and CEO, Alexander Ljung at f.ounders in New York City recently to find out how things are going for the company that is fast establishing itself as the ‘YouTube for audio’. He also told us why Berlin is such a “magical” place to be based.

berlin is at first a poor poor city with 15% people jobless and nothing is working in this city.
look at the new airport a desaster, a dirty city with dirty streets, Deficits everywhere and very deficient municipal services, berlin is just an enormous trash can.
berlin is not a german city because berlin has no Rigor, efficiency, seriousness likes every others cities frankfurt, munich koln or hamburg.
Everything (services, infrastructures, etc) works marvelously in frankfurt, munich koln or hamburg, but not in berlin.
you can ask people living in munich hamburg or frankfurt what they think about berlin, of shure nothing positive.
parties, have fun is the only thing the Berliners know, and no working. 4 millions of shirkers.
All Germany pays to mop its deficits and its debts.
berlin an open air trash can.

Mecca of bums and hookers, not something to be proud of...

German capital does not match its country in any way....

Indeed, freaking haters, while they hate, Berlin is slowly moving towards becoming a cultural and tech startups mecca of Europe.

How Berlin's Women Are Changing The Face Of Tech

Where are all the women in tech? Much ink has been spilled answering this rotten question, and one answer might be – they’re in Berlin. Germany’s capital is a burgeoning scene of startup culture, and several women are leading the charge.

“In Berlin we really have this hub of creative minds,” said 34-year-old Stefanie Hoffmann, serial entrepreneur and co-developer of Gabi, an addictive iPhone app that curates Facebook newsfeeds, creating an intelligent “best-of.”

I don't get it either. Funny thing is the last two trolls come from countries that are poorer than Berlin. Retards.

[WeimieLvr]

Wow...so anyone who disagrees is a retard? That's funny.

I won't disparage any city with details, but I didn't like Berlin at all. I hope my opinion is okay with everyone.

I just visited Berlin for the first time this month. My impression was of a great city. Was there on a night that Germany won a soccer game and fans were going crazy everywhere all night which was a cool atmosphere. I've heard the city isn't as efficient or industrial as other cities in Germany due to the city being cut in half for so many years but you could hardly tell the city was cut in half today as areas along where the wall that I visited are thriving areas.

My only complaints would be about the amount of Graffiti around the city, it mostly seemed to be on walls facing the S-bahns though.

You misunderstood me. I was commenting that the last 2 people who commented on Berlin being a poor shithole came from poorer countries, and I doubt they(plus the guy from France) ever visited the city. Never did I say that anybody who criticizes Berlin is a retard, but at least give good reasons instead of bringing out dumb stats or stereotypes you picked from other people. I rather be Berlin that Sprawlanta if you ask me.

Berlin definitely one of the best city in europe (for me of course). I found it more interesting compare to Frankfurt. Party/arts/culture what make it interesting and attract tourist to visit it while frankfurt might only be good for businessman.
