Beta house

The newly opened betahaus in Berlin Kreuzberg

The Betahaus is a coworking space in Berlin . It was founded in January 2009 by Tonia Welter, Gregor Scheppan, Stephan Bielefeldt, Madeleine von Mohl, Max von der Ahé and Christoph Fahle and opened in April 2009. This made the Betahaus the first among similar institutions in Berlin.

The Betahaus has locations in Sofia , Hamburg and Barcelona . Well-known start-ups that got their start here include Coffee Circle , Ezeep , Omio (GoEuro), car2go , Orderbird, Urban Sports Club and Clue .

Locations

At the end of 2018, the Betahaus moved from Prinzessinenstrasse in Berlin's Kreuzberg district to the old taz building on Rudi-Dutschke-Strasse in Berlin. In May, another location was inaugurated in Neukölln in the former Geyer works. The locations in Hamburg and Cologne had to file for bankruptcy. While the Cologne location was closed, the Hamburg location was saved.

Business model

The company generates 40 percent of its sales from the jobs it provides. 40 percent is taken up with events and conferences and 20 percent with a public café. An example of an event is the “Founders Breakfast” to which the former Secretary of Commerce Brigitte Zypries invited in 2014. In 2009, the Yes Men presented their film The Yes-Men fix the World in the Betahaus as part of the Berlinale .

Opened in 2014 Betahaus a hardware - Laboratory for hardware start-ups.
