Original: Munich overtook Berlin in 2025 VC funding, Grok tells Earlybird’s Andre Retterath
Earlybird investor Andre Retterath shared data showing Munich surpassed Berlin in venture capital funding in 2025. According to the figures, Berlin has lost its long-held position as Germany's leading startup funding hub, with Munich now attracting more investor capital. The shift is drawing attention in the German tech community, with debate over what it means for Berlin's startup ecosystem and Munich's growing weight in AI, defence and deeptech sectors.
