ARRtist is the knowledge exchange platform for B2B SaaS founders, senior executives and investors.
We believe that a conference's value is mainly driven by the people you meet. A hand-crafted selection and multiple formats to connect ensuring you leave ARRtist Summit with high-value new contact as well as a smile because you refreshed existing ones.
Our goal is to provide you with the best content available on the German-speaking SaaS market, valuable insights from Founders and Investors, best practice playbooks, as well as learning from mistakes that save you time and money.
Founders of different stages have different challenges and needs. Therefore we will implement two main tracks on the event - the EARLY STAGE track, focusing on Pre Series A (<2 Mio ARR) ventures, and the GROWTH track, specializing in Post Series A or >2 Mio ARR companies. Clustering content, people, and formats will save you valuable time, give you an orientation and increase your output on ARRtist SUMMIT even more.
We all are stronger together than alone. Therefore ARRtist SUMMIT will be just one part of the new BERLIN SAAS WEEK happening 11th-13th of October. Stay tuned for various side events, special guests, and meeting the whole DACH SaaS ecosystem in Berlin these days.
Using the momentum of ARRtist SUMMIT 2023, our partners are organizing special events for the week. Take the opportunity to connect further with other founders and investors while experiencing the city in a new and exciting way.
In addition to the lectures and master classes, we invite you to directly exchange and network in various lounges and small group discussions - the mastermind sessions - in a relaxed and focused atmosphere.
