Finhaven to officially open in HafenCity

Lars Brücher, co-founder and manager of betahaus, the Hamburg-based software company mind matters, Robert Beddies, co-founder of the FintechWeek and Clas Beese, Manager of the FintechWeek, came up with the idea for finhaven. Similar to betahaus, the new co-working space wants to focus on a strong community, networking and meet-ups. A large event space will be the venue for numerous fintech events, such as Fintech Week 2019, the largest German industry event. Users can avail of an open space, team offices and a so-called Open Desk from EUR 99.

Carolin Neuman, CEO of Finletter, is one of the first co-workers in Finhaven: “We have been actively accompanying the scene for over three years with the Finletter newsletter, founded in 2015. We notice that the topic has developed into one of the most important fields of innovation in Germany and Hamburg. A low-threshold place to bring together start-ups and established players can become a great catalyst for these innovations.” Other leasers in Finhaven include Comdirect Startup Garage and Fabian Friedrich, initiator of the Blockchance Conference in Hamburg. Friedrich plans to open a so-called Blockchance Campus for start-ups in mid 2019.
