Deal Tank - Where investment rounds get real
For the first time, Arctic15 is launching the Deal Tank: a high-intensity, no-fluff deal-making arena designed for real fundraising rounds.
Carefully selected pre-seed (€200K) and seed-stage (€700K) startups will pitch their active funding rounds directly to handpicked investors. Some sessions will take place on stage, while others will be behind closed doors in focused, 60-minute themed sessions. Deals happen live, and soft commitments are made on the spot.
- 2-4 startups per session
- Private, sector-specific rooms
- 60-minute sessions moderated for speed and focus
- No conference noise—just startups and investors talking deals
