Host David Cohen talks to Techstars Berlin’s Martin Schilling about the future development of global startups and his book ‘The Builder’s Guide to the Tech Galaxy.’

Martin Schilling said he would never work in finance. However, after two years of scaling N26 Group, a large European fintech company, he left with a wealth of knowledge that he needed to share. So he wrote “The Builder’s Guide to the Tech Galaxy” with several leading tech builders.

“It is, in essence, a give-first book because together with my co-founders, we are deep advocates of scaling up the European tech ecosystem. Why? Because as startup builders, we are the pioneers of our times. We are the inventors of the 21st century to a certain degree, and we will need to build millions of future jobs.”

Listen as Martin describes the global tech ecosystem, its current needs, and the future development of startups and scale-ups through mentoring and knowledge. “The book, as well, is meant as an encouragement for those to really go out and dare to build startups,” Martin shares.

Also, don’t miss David and Martin chatting about the tactical resources in Martin’s book, such as developing a clear startup North Star, building a great team, and how Star Trek is related to startups and Techstars!
