Description

ArtNight runs more than 1,000 creative events per month across Germany — with minimal central headcount.


In this episode, Chris Fahrenbach speaks with Aimie-Sarah Carstensen, Founder of ArtNight, about building a tech-enabled offline platform, navigating hypergrowth, surviving COVID-driven disruption, and restoring operational focus after structural complexity nearly overwhelmed the business.


This conversation examines:


  • IRL tech and decentralized event infrastructure


  • Cultural adaptation of US business models to DACH markets


  • Why experience quality is an economic variable


  • The hidden risks of venture-fueled hypergrowth


  • Post-pandemic strategic simplification


For founders, operators, and investors evaluating experience-driven platforms, this episode offers structural insight rather than tactical advice.


If this episode helped you, follow the podcast and share it with a founder who needs this playbook.
