Berlin's startup ecosystem came alive this morning as we joined forces with New Enterprise Associates (NEA) to host an exclusive pre-ARRtist gathering and celebrate SaaS week. 40 of Europe's most innovative founders and operators connected over breakfast, but the real feast was the exchange of ideas and experiences! From stealth mode startups to scaling unicorns — huge thank you to everyone who joined us, the insights shared made for an incredibly inspiring start to the week. Looking forward to carrying this momentum into ARRTist! 🍒 Filip Felician Dames Sophia Bendz Dinika Mahtani Christian Meermann Jasper Masemann Alexander Langholz-Baikousis

What happens when an AI investor, an AI tool, and an AI foundational model walk into a panel? They challenge the idea that one AI model will rule them all. At ARRtist Berlin SaaS Week, our partner Jasper Masemann 🍒 joined Andreas Blattmann (Black Forest Labs) and 🐙 Marc Mengler (Octomind) to discuss the future of AI. While tech giants grab headlines, a different story is unfolding - Tailored models excelling in vertical domains are emerging, supported by model-agnostic providers and customers. Startups are winning by weaving together these specialised models. What does this mean for early-stage AI companies and investors? Find out in the full recording in the comments. Thanks to Gergo Kalcsics and Merantix AI Campus for hosting!

And just like that, Bits & Pretzels it's a wrap! This year, we were lucky to not have one but two of our partners on stage: 👉 Filip Felician Dames, discussing the importance of founder coaching with Ariane de Bonvoisin. As our guiding principle says "Founders first for companies that last" - something we take seriously at Cherry where our Copilot program makes founder coaching a core component of our investment model. 👉 Sophia Bendz, on an incredible Nordics panel alongside Fredrik Hjelm, Oscar Höglund, Ilkka Paananen and moderated by Zoé Fabian, discussing amongst other things the really special Nordic Founder DNA for innovation and what she is excited about coming out of the region at the moment. Yet, another fantastic event - until next year! 🥨 Filip Felician Dames Christian Meermann Sophia Bendz Alexander Langholz-Baikousis Jasper Masemann Dinika Mahtani
