Skype a Founder #11: Marcel Duee, Tweek

Ok, this one is very dear to TechBerlin’s heart since Tweek and TechBerlin started out at around the same time! In fact, this is already the second interview I did with Tweek co-founder Marcel. The first one was actually the very first interview i ever did for TechBerlin! 

Why did our ways cross so early? At the time I was working as Venture Partner at Catagonia Capital and the Tweek team, introduced by biz savvy Holger G. Weiss, was pitching us. Catagonia ended up investing in Tweek with the investment being announced in December of last year! 

Today Tweek is crushingIT and likely to become the next big hit in Berlin. And rightly so! Not only are its founders uber-sympathetic and willing to help out wherever they can. They are also great professionals (ex Nokia) who created a kick ass beta product! And yes, they know how to throw parties, too! 

So what the hell is Tweek?

Ever felt that the over supply of online video content (i.e. on portals such as Youtube, Netflix or Apple TV) is rather overwhelming and makes it difficult to discover videos that you love? Tweek may come to your rescue! The super slick iPad app allows you to discover video content via your social graph a.k.a your friends and interests! It is beautifully designed and features a neat user experience. 

Watch the video to hear about the forthcoming disruption in TV and find out more about Tweek and how it seeks to differentiate itself in this highly competitive market. 

Beta Access: Tweek is still in closed beta, but gave TechBerlin 10 access codes. Sign up on the Tweek website and then send an email to info(at)techberlin.com with the subject line “Tweek Beta”. The first 10 people to do so will get beta access.
