Learn from your peers

Why repeat mistakes that have already been made?

 

  • At PIRATE Summit we gather like-minded individuals to exchange their experiences & learn from each other in a very authentic way. There are things you should experience yourself, but why repeat mistakes that have already been done?

The right formats for your needs

Walk the plank & secure funding

Are you brave enough to walk the plank?

Whether you’re looking to go through the roof with VC money or go for slow but sustainable growth á la #intheblack. We’re sure you will find the right match!

Meet investors at the bar or under a fire spitting dragon

 

  • PIRATE Summit not only offers the kind of people you’ll want to meet but also the perfect setting for casual meetings.
  •  

A true PIRATE ain’t afraid of sharks!

 

  • 30 jury members from world-renowned investment institutions/companies will be watching you! And on top of it: more than 400 viewers. This is your opportunity to show what you got!

Get inspired

More than a venue!

 

  • Fire-spitting sculptures, steampunk rovers & creativity wherever you look.
    The PIRATE Summit venue (Odonien) is a junkyard gone open-air art gallery.
    But a mere description does not do justice to the location – you will have to experience it yourself.

Inspiring people, sessions, days. 

 

  • Everybody has a story to tell & you should benefit from it. Be inspired by a wide variety of experts from all over the world. Listen to how they managed their journey to success & internalize it!

You’ll never sail alone!

 

  • You are not alone in your journey. There is a worldwide community enjoying the same successes & struggling with the same challenges. Take advantage of others experience & share yours with them!
