software & tech

Meet senior GPs from leading small- and mid-cap DACH software and tech funds, together with LPs from entrepreneurial individuals, family offices, and major institutional investors – all invited because they shape the market.

A reunion, not just another
conference

PEC is designed as a reunion, not a typical conference: most guests return year after year, building on existing relationships, continuing off-the-record conversations, and creating new partnerships in a familiar setting.

Inspiration from world-class minds

Learn from headline speakers like Gordon Herbert – and, in previous editions, Pierluigi Collina, Nassim Nicholas Taleb, and Dee Caffari – and meet them in our conversation pit to ask your own questions and speak on eye level.

An interesting forum for exchange between LPs and GPs, with direct and sometimes slightly controversial questions — which I think is what really makes it interesting.

Nils Bennemann, DPE

There are very few conferences that are for GPs by GPs, with a transparent, open, honest conversation.

Devin Mathews, ParkerGale

The Conference for me is a new school in an old school world, in the sense that they bring togtherr lots of people of the industry in a more transparent way.

Carl Grysolle, Maxus Capital

The industry is really competitive, but I think there are good opportunities to just share best practices and talk openly about what’s working, what’s not working, and just trade ideas to get better.

Scott Ryan, Indiana University Foundation

From my point of view, it’s really unique because people are talking openly and you connect to people that you may have heard of or may be are in different pitches against.

Dr. Toni Schmidt - FLEX Capital

“I absolutely loved the concept and I talked to some GP’ from the UK who are thinking to bring it over there. That’s how much they like it. So It’s really a great service you do to the ecosystem.”
