We are searching for the coolest guy/girl around, who is just missing betahaus| Berlin to be a part of his/her life to start MAKING THINGS HAPPEN. To get an impression of what you could be working on, have a look at the video from last year – Here it is! In 2014 it happened to be our 5th Birthday as well, so we went along with that name.
The current position is strongly recommended for those who are up for meaningful tasks rather than bringing coffee. The beta| Festival traditionally includes over 20 workshops / activities / + a loud open-end party. So there will be enough fun stuff to put your hands on.
Please, don't get stopped from applying by the fear of "ooh, I don´t know how to do it". That´s what we are there for – to help you learn along the way. (Yet, we are obviously more than glad if you already have experience in the field of event management).
Between 01.06.2015 and 15.06.2015
3-4 months
IT IS THE RIGHT PLACE FOR YOU IF you are passionate about the culture of startups, design, makers and doers. Also, if you are willing to work in a young inspiring team, take responsibility for your own tasks and content ideas and enjoy some freedom to launch them.
As a sweet addition, you will be able to take part in any course or workshop presented in our program. WordPress, 3D Printing, Weaving, Indesign, Introduction to woodshop, etc. (it covers around 15 diverse topics at the moment).
Please, send to elizaveta@betahaus.de the following:
"Please create an activity of any type (workshop/ interactive session/ talk/ etc.) for any section of the festival (Makers/ Startups/ Coworkers – are the ones you could choose from). Write a description of it (100-150 words) and choose an image for online presentation on the web page"

Toni: Currently, we’ve somehow ended up in this niche of building a lot of internal tools for startups and teams. But this is not the only thing we want to do. What I like about it is that we’re starting projects from scratch and we have full control over them.
Martin: The first project we worked on was a tool for a large scale real estate development company. What they needed was a tool for their Sales people - to be able to mark their different spots and locations at different stages of the sales funnel. So we created a tool that helps them in this process.
Toni: And this one actually served as a starting point for the tool we’ve developed for betahaus, which aims to allow the Sales and Management team to see which team rooms are occupied right now, which ones are free or will be occupied in a few weeks or months, so no double bookings appear.
Alex: These two projects were more focused on real estate, let’s say, but we’ve also done more design-heavy projects like the one we did for Artique which is an online artists agency. For them, we built a whole website and an online system to present their artists starting only from their logo. It had to be very flexible, because the artists needed to be able to edit their own profiles, putting their resume, changing colours.
Toni: Honestly, we have skillsets that you don’t usually find in developers. Because we've had lives that were not just about computer science. I think to some extent this is what makes us different.
Martin: I believe one of the reasons why people pick us over other studios is because it can be very hard working with developers. If you’re not understanding their work, if the communication is not flowing, you, as a client can feel lost. We're easy to communicate with and we’re always open to feedback and we're open to discuss anything. In the end, after all iterations, if you say we need to start the website from scratch and that you don’t like the idea, we won’t take it personally.
Alex: Also, I think, since we all work as coding teachers, we are officially qualified to explain what coding is to people who don't code, which is actually really rare because a lot of developers, as Martin says, don't want to, or literally just don't know how to articulate what they're doing. Whereas we are trained in articulating what it is that we're doing, why it's meaningful and why it takes a certain amount of time.
Alex: Zimt & Mehl - the Turkish bakery around the corner. It’s just soo good.
Martin: Oh, there is this Italian restaurant called Ristorante del Arte
Tony: Oh, my God, this place is so funny. It looks like a pretty average Italian restaurant, but the whole interior design inside is just decorated in such a weird way. The entire place is covered in frescoes. They have crystal chandeliers and Easter bunnies. Some Greek columns. It has a different name on the menu, on the side and on the Internet. And it was an ex-shoe-store.
