Partners who fit the room. How we work with partners.

We partner with companies that belong in our community — and believe the right partners add real value to it, and get real value back.

CTOs talking around a long dinner table
CTO Dinner · topic table

No packages. A journey.

  1. 01

    We get to know each other.

    A 30-minute call. Who you are, what you’re building, who you want to reach — and whether we fit.

  2. 02

    We check the fit.

    We only bring partners into the community who belong there. If it doesn’t fit, we’ll tell you.

  3. 03

    We plan your journey.

    Podcast, newsletter, events, Slack — we mix the touchpoints that make sense for you and advise along the way.

  4. 04

    We build relationships.

    Real conversations with the German tech ecosystem — CTOs and their developers. That’s what you get back.

Germany’s tech ecosystem. CTOs and their developers.

Our strength is Germany. Here we reach the whole ecosystem — the CTOs on the list, the developers at code.talks, both of them in our bootcamps. If you want to talk to the people who decide on technology in this country, this is the room.

And we’re independent. No product, no media company behind us — just the community.

Partners join specific channels — invited, not pushed.

What partners do with us. Four examples out of many.

  1. A topic table at a CTO dinner
    01

    Host a topic table at the CTO Dinner.

    Pick a topic you own. Twelve CTOs, one table, two hours of honest conversation — no slides.

  2. A speaker on the CTO Summit stage
    02

    Speak at the CTO Summit.

    A stage in front of 300 tech leaders. Practitioners only — we help you shape a talk that isn’t a pitch.

  3. The code.talks cinema during a talk
    03

    Connect at code.talks with a booth.

    Two days of conversations with the people who sign the contracts. Small footprint, big conversations.

  4. People seated at an alphalist masterclass
    04

    Educate CTOs via our online masterclasses.

    A 90-minute deep dive for members who want to go hands-on with your topic — curated and moderated by us.
