Love that at PIRATE Summit everyone is a VIP.ย
Attending Pirate Summit is quite an extraordinary experience โ participants from 60 different countries, unique location, interesting expert sessions, well coordinated pirate theme and relaxed atmosphere all add up to make this Europeโs largest invitation-only conference for early-stage startups, investors and corporate executives feel like a festival.
One of my favourite events!
The PIRATE Summit is one of those very few events that can change peoples lives.
We are big fans of this unique conference!
Best conference I’ve been to in ages.
Loved PIRATE Summit! 1200 startups applied for the pitch competition. Stoked to be in the jury.
Best conference ever! From the Plank to the burning Man … and every human connection in between (Karaoke and Party included!!), PIRATE Summit never disappoints and constantly brings the best people together. Can’t wait for the next one!
What an amazing event.
Once a pirate, always a pirate!
Totally unique. An amazing venue!
What a crazy event it was! Thanks PIRATE Summit for inviting me! Heading back to Paris now with many new ideas to work on.
Thank you for 7 years of PIRATE Summit, glad to have been at all of them.
Very refreshing and laid back event dedicated only for startups and VCs. We connected with a banking accelerator there! We would never expect that, taking into consideration that the whole concept of the show was super relaxed and the founders were pitching in shorts and t-shirts.
PIRATE Summit is one of the finest tech events in Europe.
What a blast!
Winning the pitching competition at PIRATE Summit accelerated our growth exponentially! The focus of the event on building meaningful connections and the size of it put us on the map of all the investors, corporates and other partners who were there and helped us leave Cologne with a stronger support system and a lot of opportunities! We are honored and grateful! ARRR!
Yesterday night someone asked me what PIRATE Summit is for me. It took me a moment to think but in the end it was pretty simple. Itยดs like home. Thank you to everyone for creating such a wonderful event once again.
The most unbelievable entrepreneurship conference.
I truly enjoyed it!
For me, the PIRATE Summit was probably the most extraordinary startup event I have attended.
Easily the best conference for founders in Europe.
Just got off the stage at PIRATESummit. Great event!
PIRATE Summit has been one of the most impactful events I’ve ever attended. Thanks to it, I have made lifelong friendships, as well as deep partnerships. I wholeheartedly recommend going!
HALLELUJAH, what an experience! Kรถlle you sure do things differently. Who could have known how fun conferences can be.
What an amazing event!
Best venue, excellent catering, impeccable time keeping. Thank you PIRATE Summit!
PIRATE Summit is such an amazing event. The entrepreneurial dream lives here.
Unforgettably great atmosphere! ๐ดโโ ๏ธ
Winning the pitch competition at PIRATE Summit helped us to close our Series A and opened up many new opportunities for us!
Huge respect
Looking forward to PIRATE Summit this year. It’s the best startup conference I’ve experienced.
Amazing atmosphere, speakers, and connections!
PIRATE Summit once again blew me away!
Thanks PIRATE Summit for a great event!
Packed with digital nomads, startups and investors PIRATE Summit is buzzing with creative minds.
The Pirate Summit is something special!
This event was sensational!
It’s been an extraordinary experience.
Last week I had the great honour to give the closing keynote at PIRATE Summit, the event at which the Plan A journey kicked off three years ago, and to celebrate 10 years of Pirate Summit.
And such a celebration couldn’t have been possible without the one and only Manuel Koelman ๐ดโโ ๏ธ.
I have continuously been impressed by the humility, kindness, dedication he has demonstrated throughout the years, in effort to continue pushing for the tech industry to be more inclusive, diverse and human.
Congratulations on yet another year where the future of tech defined!
What a mega event!
One of the coolest events I’ve ever heard of.
My first time as a PIRATE, I did not really know what to expect, and I am shockedโฆ. In the best possible way. It was a fun, social, extraordinary, beautiful experience. Great people, great content in the most relaxed atmosphere you can think of. Iโm sure I will be back.
The PIRATE Summit was an excellent reboot for the mind(set)!
Such events connect you to the people who think, look and act differently. And you learn from them. C’mon, when you listen to a strip dancer who is an investor now – that’s awesome! You hear other people’s ideas and they bring new ones to your own head.
You can’t get this sitting in your own shell. Even when you have an established business, opening your mind to new opportunities and living a startup life is always a breathtaking idea.
Just arrived at PIRATE Summit – definitely one of the top tech conferences in Europe.ย
A unique experience that I’ll keep in my mind for the rest of my life…
This conference is ARRRmazing! Nothing to do with those 5000 people corporate conferences where you barely can meet the relevant people you want!
Thanks PIRATE Summit what an amazing event ๐ I can really recommend this event for startup founders, don’t miss it next year!
The most unbelievable entrepreneurship conference.
This has been one of the craziest festivals I ever attended!
Thanks again PIRATE Summit for an incredible experience & ARRRmazing opportunity to discuss our ideas for helping EU UrbanTech start-ups grow. Made great new connections and learned A LOT. Def one of the best conferences I’ve ever attended + certainly the most fun!!!
So much love for this event. Stage fright or not, I learned a lot, met amazing people whoโre all working hard to make their dream happen.
Flying back after PIRATE Summit. Thanks to all – the kind and helpful staff, the organizers, all the attendees I’ve met. One of the best events I have ever attended.
PIRATE Summit for me was a life-changing event!
An epic event full of emotions!
PIRATE Summit you were absolutely amazing!
Meaningful speeches, inspiring conversations, and a lot of great quality connections!
My 7th PIRATE Summit — out of 7 since 2011! Awesome as always!
PIRATE Summit disrupts the (hierarchy) distance between startups and investors and brings them to eye level.
PIRATE Summit is definitely the craziest and most ambitious event for startups in EU. If there’s one thing for you in EU, it’s this.
At PIRATE Summit itโs all about meaningful connections. Through various formats and activities theyโll ensure your personal networking experience. If you are looking to connect and learn from likeminded founders or are looking for capital/early stage startups, then PIRATE Summit is for you.
So PIRATE Summit absolutely rrrrocked – will be back next year to walk the plank!
You have written the topic of #FemaleLeadership on the flag and shown: You really live it.
๐ THANK YOU for that! This is female empowerment. For real.
Best. Startup. Summit. Ever. But the band f**kin nailed it!
The Walk the Plank pitch competitionยดs prize has been one of the most valuable weยดve got as a startup. The opportunity to meet top-tier VCs has been great and has helped us on our way to our series A.
Officially the coolest B2B event I’ve ever attended.
Pirate summit is this: overjump issues thanks to a tiny cable-network of innovators, leaving jurassic mindset behind you while flying to the future.
Once you have been in a summit, you think the second time will not surprise you again.
But the Pirate Summit is always unforgettable
PIRATE Summit is epic proof that the startup world is changing. This is the conference of the future.
This is one of the best Startup conferences in Europe (and world).

it is (was) the coolest startup event to attend, but also because it is a symbol of doing things differently, being rebellious, and going against the mainstream.
PIRATE Summit disrupts the (hierarchy) distance between startups and investors and brings them to eye level.
PIRATE Summit is one of the finest tech events in Europe.
PIRATE Summit is more than a tech conference! It is one of the few events that truly puts people front and center.
PIRATE Summit is truly an experience to remember.
Carefully crafted for connection, inspiration, and learning, this summit is just a different breed.
Best venue, excellent catering, impeccable time keeping. Thank you PIRATE Summit!
Very refreshing and laid back event dedicated only for startups and VCs. We connected with a banking accelerator there! We would never expect that, taking into consideration that the whole concept of the show was super relaxed and the founders were pitching in shorts and t-shirts.
PIRATE Summit has made a difference for more than one decade by giving, sharing, connecting, informing, educating, and engaging each one of the actors in the different stages of the start-up environment. The vision, the culture, and the values of this ship will sail over the seas through the mark they left on the lives, roadmaps, and minds of each one of the different attendants and visitors.
The hopeful expectations of my first participation in the PIRATE Summit were blown up excessively!
I had heard a lot of positive things about this event but nothing could have prepared me for how awesome it really was, and how awesome all the PEOPLE were!
Best conference ever! From the Plank to the burning Man … and every human connection in between (Karaoke and Party included!!), PIRATE Summit never disappoints and constantly brings the best people together. Can’t wait for the next one!
A really cool event and fun to see how the startup ecosystem outside of the Nordics operates.
Thank you PIRATE Summit for the awesome event!
Simply terrific!

Thank you dear PIRATE Summit for more than a decade of passion for the start-up scene and entrepreneurship.
For leaving such a positive and lasting mark on the Cologne start-up ecosystem and on me personally. Always in tune with the times and always authentic.
Amazing trip to Germany. Speaking at the amazing PIRATE Summit. Exciting to see EU startups tackling sustainability and also being led by so many awesome women founders.
The most unbelievable entrepreneurship conference.
Best conference I’ve been to in ages.

Thank you for granting us yet another unique experience.

PIRATE is my entrepreneurial home. It was there that I first came into contact with startups, tech, and entrepreneurship.
.
Packed with digital nomads, startups and investors PIRATE Summit is buzzing with creative minds.
Thank you for 7 years of PIRATE Summit, glad to have been at all of them.
Looking forward to PIRATE Summit this year. It’s the best startup conference I’ve experienced.
PIRATE Summit was often called the Burning Man of tech conferences, and it lived up to the hype.
Such a smooth organization and an incredible time!
Community-led, curated, intimate, not for profit, raw.
Just got off the stage at PIRATESummit. Great event!
Thank you so much for organising this great experience – again.
My 7th PIRATE Summit — out of 7 since 2011! Awesome as always!
So PIRATE Summit absolutely rrrrocked – will be back next year to walk the plank!
Flying back after PIRATE Summit. Thanks to all – the kind and helpful staff, the organizers, all the attendees I’ve met. One of the best events I have ever attended.

Thanks again PIRATE Summit for an incredible experience & ARRRmazing opportunity to discuss our ideas for helping EU UrbanTech start-ups grow. Made great new connections and learned A LOT. Def one of the best conferences I’ve ever attended + certainly the most fun!!!
This year’s edition of PIRATE Summit was a blast!
What an incredible experience!
This conference is ARRRmazing! Nothing to do with those 5000 people corporate conferences where you barely can meet the relevant people you want!
You just cannot compare this to anything else!
We ARRR Founders.
We GiVE, Give, Give, Ask.
We are ALL in the same Boat.
We are boldly TRUE to Ourselves.
We are the IMPACT needed in this World.
One of my favourite events!
Thank you, PIRATE Summit for this experience. I’ve never been to a business event, where networking was that easy and where l could literally wait in line for a massage and get in contact with startups from all over the world.
PIRATE Summit is not just a conference. It’s not just an event to network or look for investors or meet other entrepreneurs. It’s a place for true friendship, for opening, for learning for sharing, and for burning what needs to be let go. Such a great concept!
Officially the coolest B2B event I’ve ever attended.
One of the edgiest and most community-focused conferences out there!
PIRATE Summit is such an amazing event. The entrepreneurial dream lives here.
All sorts of emotions going through my mind thinking about this being the very last PIRATE Summit.
It was here, at the very first one in 2011 we introduced the world toโ Gauss – The People Magnetโ, the very first Social Discovery app for the iPhone (see video below).
It was here in 2011 I got my German and European network of entrepreneurs and investors kickstarted.
As one of my favourite songs goes; โMaybe itโs better to burn out, than fade awayโโฆ so letโs celebrate the Last Burn tonight – and be happy and grateful that it happened (and kept it happening for so long!) not saddened that itโs over! #ARRR!
Forever grateful for the safe harbour Manuel and the rest of the band of pirates managed to create for us over these many years.
Itโs going to leave a hole in the region. But thatโs OK. Itโs a testament to what the Pirate Summit was and is and forever will be; Irreplacable.
This is a place with such a concentration of people who want to give back. Give your knowledge, your experience, share your innermost, and do not be afraid that you will be ridiculed or misunderstood.
Entrepreneurship is all about authenticity and no better conference than PIRATE Summit to highlight it.
Itโs more than a conference actually.
Itโs a festival where we celebrate the bold and audacious, the crazy and the daring.
More than anything though, we celebrate amazing human beings.
The conference format was a breath of fresh air. No rigid schedules or scripted presentations, but instead, an open platform where ideas flowed freely, discussions sparked, and collaborations formed organically. The level of engagement and authenticity was unparalleled, allowing for genuine connections to be forged and knowledge to be shared in a truly unique way.
I had the privilege of witnessing awe-inspiring pitches from some of the most innovative startups I’ve ever encountered. Beyond the business side of things, the Pirate Summit also provided an opportunity to celebrate our shared journey.
We laughed, danced, and toasted the unforgettable memories created during this event. It was a reminder that entrepreneurship is not just about the destination, but also about the people we meet and the relationships we build along the way.
I haven’t missed a single PIRATE Summit since the beginning. The spirit of the people at this arrresome event is what helped me stay my course as
a founder for the past 12 years.
Kudos to the amazing team behind this unique gathering.
PIRATE Summit is definitely the craziest and most ambitious event for startups in EU. If there’s one thing for you in EU, it’s this.
Amazing meeting so many incredible people and catching up with old friends, talking about the startup ecosystem, our work, and our impact.
Lubomila Jordanova
A big ARRR to all volunteers and organisers ofย PIRATE Summit. You rock!!
It was a great opportunity to mingle in a special location.
We are now at PIRATE Summit and once again we think that it is one epic event!
Two days packed with great workshops, masterclasses and startup spirit – simply awesome!
It was incredible fun to meet so many new, highly motivated and goal-oriented people and startups.
We are absolutely amazed by tech founders, real captains of their lives, tackling the most pressing problems of our society and the planet.
๐ดโโ ๏ธ I represented APX at PIRATE Summit 2022, Europeโs largest invitation-only conference for early-stage startups, investors and corporate executives
๐ฅAn archery range, a massage booth and a giant bonfire (some call it the โBurning Manโ of the startup conferences)
โญKey takeaway: #GenZ VC investors are changing the VC industry, not accepting the status quo, being values-focused and unafraid of breaking into untapped (emerging) markets
Two amazing days at the PIRATE Summit.
This place is magic for entrepreneurs! #ARRRRRR
As always, it was an amazing experience. A place where you are invited to come as you are, where the individual human being comes first – business after.
The best startup event in Germany.
PIRATE Summit – a super casual, social and at the same time very sustainability-conscious event for startups and investors.
Our first PIRATE Summit totally flashed us, because this mixture of startup conference and festival is really something very special.
Many thanks for this spectacular start-up event in NRW!
A special and worthwhile event with inspiring conversations, some really nice new connections and some eye-opening impact-related discussions. Thanks PIRATE Summit
Thank you all for a fantastic PIRATE Summit! See you all next year mates.
We had a blast at the #PIRATEsummit 2022 ๐๐ดโโ ๏ธ!!
Two amazing days of authentic connections, real life experiences from people who love to solve real problems, peer learning and hot topics from a business perspective.
โItโs all about people, itโs all about the communityโ was one of the most common things we could listen from the attendees and during those two days, people just follow the rules of the house and treated vulnerability as the major pirate strength!
From standing on the plank, burning insecurities and doubts on a gigantic scarecrow bonfire to meeting VCs and founders, We could say that, is the coolest and authentic B2B event for entrepreneurs with festival vibes.
Thank you PIRATE Summit for this great experience! ARRR! ๐ดโโ ๏ธ๐๐ฆ
โPIRATE Summit is the place for meaningful connections, openness and lasting friendships.
Besides the location, it’s the special, valuable community that makes it outstanding!โ
PIRATE Summit was excellent, truly a special event with great people.
Set sail for new horizons! Many thanks to PIRATE Summit for organizing this extraordinary event.
The PIRATE Summit is not just a conference. It is a fun opportunity to live in an out-of-the-box, creative and inclusive context.
Today we are all pirates at PIRATE Summit ๐๐ฝ big up to the entire crew for this great event ๐๐ฝ
The PIRATE Summit was an excellent reboot for the mind(set)!
Such events connect you to the people who think, look and act differently. And you learn from them. C’mon, when you listen to a strip dancer who is an investor now – that’s awesome! You hear other people’s ideas and they bring new ones to your own head.
You can’t get this sitting in your own shell. Even when you have an established business, opening your mind to new opportunities and living a startup life is always a breathtaking idea.
The atmosphere, the talks, the networking, everything was perfect.
I wish more conferences would go the extra mile and curate such a diverse agenda!
Last week we attended the impressing PIRATE Summit! ๐ฆ๐ดโโ ๏ธ
Year by year, you guys create a special place to come together.
Perfect weather and very cool location for PIRATE Summit!
I don’t know of any conference as authentic as the PIRATE Summit.
Two amazing days with great connections, inspiring sessions, and a deep dive into ourselves.
That was great, many nice people from all over the world, good conversations, much to laugh and much to marvel!
Good energy, meaningful conversations, and a very chill, casual vibe overall.
ARRR they make it happen! Big up guys for this amazing PIRATE Summit.
Glad to have been part of the journey!
PIRATE Summit itself was the event just like everybody has described it and more. I think it all came from the people participating. The PIRATE spirit of celebration was all around. There were a lot of laughs, people looked so relaxed, connected. You could see people talking to each other not like they just met but like they knew each other for years and now they were exchanging memories. So many talks happened in parallel sharing ideas from all the fields of human activities. Everybody who participated at least once will surely miss this event.
It was great!
PIRATE Summit is a fitting reminder that people are here to make their startup dreams come true.
I just wanted to give you a shout-out for the amazing job you’ve done! I can’t forget the awesome experience I had at my very first PIRATE Summit. You brought together so many people, it’s truly a remarkable achievement!
PIRATE Summit is already one of the best events of the year for us!
Huge thanks to the organizers for crafting such a meaningful experience.
10 editions later, the CEO of PIRATE Summit decides to organize a very last cruise!
It takes courage and wisdom to leave gracefully when it is time.
PIRATE Summit, thanks for this Last BURN, great lesson!
This was my first time at the PIRATE Summit ๐ดโโ ๏ธ in Cologne.
Here are my key learnings:
1. Authenticity is key: In business we often learn to put on our professional persona, but especially for young companies it can be of so much value to show your employees your personal passion.
2. How are you, really?
3. Rap is like founding a company.
I liked the Pirate Summit: relaxed atmosphere, brainstorming with old and new acquaintances, enriching encounters, numerous new contacts, one or the other inspiration, and a good party.
I am very grateful for the great exchange with different people, especially regarding direct feedback on the idea.
Thank you Manuel for your dedication and the many fantastic PIRATE Summits I had the opportunity to attend.
I met great people again and had exciting conversations. And I’m grateful for the opportunity to do it in such a cool atmosphere.
What could be better than getting together with people from all over the world who are passionate about the same thing – in the truest sense of the word?
Pirate Summit 2022.
Amazing location in which to bring entrepreneurs and investors together. ๐ช๐ป
It’s difficult getting back to reality after such a great PIRATE Summit!
Amazing event to start your entrepreneurial socialization.
It was the last big dance, the last burn. It was great, fantastic, sometimes freezing cold and always loud.
I am taking so much from this experience and will carry the spirit of the PIRATE Summit with me. Wherever we meet again, I look forward to it. Until then, hoist the sails and go on an expedition!
Until the next adventure, captains!
This week brought a lot of first-time experiences.
I attended PIRATE Summit not as seasoned data industry professional but in a totally new capacity.
I recorded the first live podcast interview with a fantastic speaker – in a former scrapyard!
Finally, I shared publicly the bold vision thatโs forming in my head. And it felt astonishingly good.
Had an amazing time!
ARRR – we also set our sail for the PIRATE Summit Startup Conference 2022! โต๏ธ๐ด โ ๏ธ
Be authentic – Talk about how you really feel, what you really think and want to achieve! ๐ฅ
Thanks to the whole ๐ดโโ ๏ธ Pirate Team๐ดโโ ๏ธ
Thanks PIRATE Summit for some ARRRsome days in Cologne.
A conference specifically designed for entrepreneurs focusing on real-life experiences, authentic connections, and peer learning.
This is the place where people really discuss all the topics, where listening, humor and empathy prevail. Where it feels more like a festival than an entrepreneurial event and yet where the exchanges are very professional, where you can meet your future investors and clients and even friends.
2 days spent on the PIRATE Summit and I have to say… I am excited. ๐ฅ
My colleague Eugen Tschernov from STARTPLATZ I think summed it up well: The event found a good balance between professionalism and looseness. I only agree with that. ๐
I was not only able to get to know many inspiring people, great stories and interesting #startups during the last 2 days, but also to be able to take a lot of content with me through the keynotes and workshops. โจ
Thank you dear Pirate #team and see you next year. ๐
It was a fantastic event filled with brilliant, interesting, and most of all kind people. Seeing so many fantastic startups and innovative projects in such a unique place was truly inspiring.
ARRRsome conference! Loved every minute of PIRATE Summit.
Brilliant content, great company and superb organisation.
The pictures speak for themselves… #PirateSummit
As always, it was an awesome celebration of entrepreneurship and a truly unique event with creative minds and a very relaxed atmosphere.
Great vibes at this year’s PIRATE Summit! The festival atmosphere is truly unique.
I can truly confirm what is said on their website: this conference focuses on real-life experiences, authentic connections, and peer learning, and is characterized by its festival-like atmosphere.
Wow, pitching was great! Thanks to all the great people at PIRATE Summit, it was exceptional. Thanks to the investors as well for the questions and the after-pitch talk!
PIRATE Summit is the yearly gathering of entrepreneurs that love to solve real problems and build durable businesses.
ARRR!!!!
Amazed by the insights
It was my first time at PIRATE Summit and it was more than I could ve ever imagined. Came with an idea; leaving with few more to work on and lots of memories. This event was sensational! Well done and thank you! โฅ๏ธ
2 years of waiting have come to an end โ finally PIRATE Summit again!
Thank you for curating an unforgettable experience!
Just returned from the one and only PIRATE Summit!
Great moments to reunite with old friends & meet with new inspiring people.
Huge thanks to the whole team making this possible!
We had the time of our lives at #PirateSummit last week and this is why:
๐ We got to be around amazing Moldovan startups in Kรถln, Germany
๐ We had the chance to listen to top tier founders, investors, mentors, trackers and business people.
๐ We enlarged our network and pitched our ideas to other participants
๐ We got back home with thousands of new thoughts, ready to be implemented locally.
Thank you, PIRATE SUMMIT for having us and thank you, Moldovan team, for being the best! ๐
It has been incredibly inspiring to see how you grew our little makeshift event into a movement! You touched us and many entrepreneurs from around the world with your passion and craziness. And with your sad sad message that this time the mofo will burn for the last time. He has burnt thoroughly. He has burnt loudly. His fire has sparked many ideas, ignited new friendships, and fired up lots of innovation. Shall his flame rest in peace, his spirit remains. Arr! Forever your loyal co-pirate.
Always heard good things about PIRATE Summit and finally washed up on these shores. Great weather, great venue!
Sad that this might be the last PIRATE Summit, since the format and people behind it are outstanding.
PIRATE Summit has managed to develop from an insider tip to one of the most important start-up events in Europe. The event has now become one of the most important meetings for serious founders and their financiers.
We came full of inspiration, knowledge, and willpower. A strong human connection raising itself!
Raise Yourself puts the individuals in the center and I could feel that founders with their thoughts and feelings matter.
Pirate Summit it’s “the perfect balance of
being useful, productive & fun. And great people!”
โPIRATE Summit has always been my place to talk to people I would have never met and mostly are still connected to even after several years.โ
Grateful for the meaningful connections we made at PIRATE Summit!
A very special event that attracts international audiences and top speakers with its individuality.
Pirate Summit was an event to really fire up your own innovative spirit.
I am sure that the Pirate Summit will continue to spread its wings and inspire entrepreneurs with its spirit and further connect the well-established network of friends and colleagues.
Many thanks to PIRATE Summit for an ARRRsome conference.
The most awesome PIRATE Summit!
I met a lot of great people and had interesting conversations.
PIRATE Summit is the craziest conference made with love and the right attitude to support entrepreneurs and the innovation ecosystem. Simply ARRRmazing!
Awesome as always!
This conference is for those who understand that they are the captains of their own lives.
Great event PIRATE Summit –ย thanks to all fellowpirates.
Crazy conference
So, I have to say initially I was apprehensive about coming to PIRATE Summit like it was so hippy and not my thing. BUT looking at the houserules, esp #1 #2 #3 #4 and thank God for the freedresscode in the extreme heat, I am growing on it. ๐
PIRATE Summit is going to be an absolutely amazing event! I’m so glad I have the opportunity to be there ๐ย
We’re very proud of Pakistani๐ต๐ฐ representation at the IFA Berlin & PIRATE Summit in Germany๐ฉ๐ช!
