Former stars among the young tech companies resort to mass layoffs. Many start-ups are running out of money. In this podcast, tech reporter Jonas Rest provides information on what this means for the future of the German start-up scene.


The past two years have been one big party, confirms Jonas Rest, Berlin-based tech reporter for manager magazin.

Founders received millions for their ideas within a few weeks.

Sometimes it only took a few months after that for her company to be valued at 1 billion euros, as in the case of the delivery service Gorillas.

Everything has changed for a few weeks.

The financiers are pushing for austerity measures, former stars like the payment service Klarna have to lay off employees.

What does that mean for the German start-up scene, which had just gained its own momentum?

And who benefits from the new uncertainty for young tech companies.

Rest has been doing intensive research on this over the past few weeks.

In an interview with editor-in-chief Sven Clausen, he provides information about his findings.

In the podcast "Das Thema" the editor-in-chief of manager magazin provides information every Friday about the status of research on a relevant current and at the same time promising topic in the economy.
