After creating a salary benchmark report for Amsterdam and Berlin it’s time to dive deeper into the next hub…


As Munich is growing closer to Berlin as one of the leading startup hubs in Europe, we decided it was logical to create a report on the Munich scale-up industry as well. And highlighted the most important differences between Berlin and Munich.

Banking on our experience serving 150+ scale-ups and hiring 1.500+ talented professionals across Europe.

Some even mention Munich as the fourth tech hub in Europe, after Berlin, London and Paris.
