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
