Cologne, September 12th 2019 - ArtNight is the winner of this year's SevenVentures Pitch Day. ArtNight, a start-up focused on bringing people together offline through edutainment workshops, faced tough competition across two rounds to secure a lucrative media package valued at 3 million. The renowned pitch competition for founders and start-ups, hosted by SevenVentures the media investment arm of the ProSiebenSat.1 Group, is now in its ninth year. The renowned prize for start-ups has helped multiple organisations break onto the mass market, including Selfapy, Hafervoll, Withings and GetYourGuide.
As this year's winner, ArtNight will receive a media package from the ProSiebenSat.1 Group, which includes a multimillion Euro media package from the ProSiebenSat.1 Group and 30,000 for the creation of a TV spot. In addition ArtNight will begin a 4-month mentoring programme with Flaconi, one of Germany's leading online beauty stores.
Kathrin Nusser, CFO at Flaconi, I was fascinated by ArtNight and their idea for offline, entertaining events and for its relevance in today's digital society. I am looking forward to working with the team at ArtNight across the next four months and to support, challenge and accelerate their business moving forward with the Flaconi mentoring programme.
Aimie-Sarah Carstensen and David Neisinger Co-Founders of ArtNight, We are thrilled and thankful! This opportunity will enable us to bring more people together offline. With our edutainment experiences ArtNight, ShakeNight, BakeNight and PlantNight we are now able to reach the mass market faster.
SevenVentures CEO Dr. Jens Pippig is delighted to be working together with ArtNight: ArtNight encompasses everything that we were looking for in a start-up this year: an innovative product and a scalable business model. I am certain that we can give ArtNight the boost the company now needs.
Jury member Joko Winterscheidt was convinced by ArtNight's business idea, ArtNight is one of the few platforms that focuses on offline social interaction - simply being around other people. Simple idea, brilliantly executed
