After an electrifying TWIST Berlin show at Ahoy! Berlin in February the show hosts reached out to organize a special London vs. Berlin episode. This time three startups from London will compete with three startups from Berlin and Jason Calacanis and his sidekick Tyler Crowley will pick the best 3. Let’s see which startup hub has more to offer!

If you missed the TWIST Berlin show at the beginning of the year, this is your chance to make up for it. The last show was truly magnificent with interesting pitches by passionate entrepreneurs, an audience that supported the Berlin startups like a force and a rant by Jason Calacanis against the Samwer brothers and German copy cats that become legendary. 

SquadMail, one of the finalists of the last TWIST Berlin actually ended up winning the startup competition at the next conference last week.

The event will be held on June 8th at the Ahoy! Berlin co-working space with the actual live stream between Berlin, London and the show hosts in Los Angeles taking place from 21:00-22:00 CET. After the show we will do what we do best at Ahoy! and throw a big party to celebrate the winners and entrepreneurship in general. 

Any startup in Berlin can apply to pitch in the show. A jury will screen the top 15 applicants in a pre-contest one day prior to the actual show and choose their 3 picks. Don’t miss the chance to present your product to the world and get valuable feedback by the experienced show duo. The sign up process will start today and you can do so here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dE95THUtVTAwdjA4WTdUQ3ZvRzdWbGc6MQ

To support this great event we are still looking for cooperation partners and sponsors. Please reach out to me or Lutz Villalba if you are interested.
