# Predavač i tema

Mirko Novaković je suosnivač i izvršni direktor kompanije Dash0, platforme za observability zasnovane na OpenTelemetry standardu.
Mirko je karijeru počeo kao inženjer i softverski arhitekta, pre nego što je prešao u preduzetništvo i postao serijski osnivač tehnoloških kompanija.

Bio je suosnivač kompanije codecentric, a zatim i Instane, koju je IBM preuzeo 2020. godine u poslu vrednom $500 miliona.

Nakon toga je krenuo ponovo od nule.

Godine 2023. suosniva Dash0. Kompanija je u martu 2026. prikupila $110 miliona u Series B rundi uz valuaciju od $1 milijarde, čime je Dash0 postao tehnološki jednorog.

Drugim rečima, Mirko je gradio kompanije kroz veoma različite faze - od nule, preko hiper-rasta i prikupljanja kapitala, sve do prodaje kompanije... a zatim je sve počeo ispočetka.

Na okupljanju u Minhenu govoriće upravo o tome:

🎤 Od nule do 30 miliona dolara godišnjeg ARR za 3 godine: osnivački recept za hiper-rast

Ovo nije teorijsko predavanje o startupima. Ovo je priča o tome šta se zaista dešava kada gradiš brzo.

# Program događaja

• 18:00 - 18:45 Ulaz, upoznavanje i druženje

Ako ste osnivač, gradite proizvode, radite kao inženjer ili investitor, ili vas jednostavno zanima kako se grade ambiciozne tehnološke kompanije - sačuvajte datum.

I ako poznajete nekoga iz Minhena ili okoline kome bi ovo bilo zanimljivo, prosledite mu događaj. 🙌

Vidimo se u Minhenu! 🚀

From software architect to a $500M exit to building a $1B unicorn. 🚀

Our first Munich gathering will take place on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, hosted by AutoScout24 GmbH.

# Speaker and Talk

Mirko Novaković is the co-founder and CEO of Dash0, an OpenTelemetry-native observability platform.

Mirko started his career as an engineer and software architect before moving into entrepreneurship and becoming a serial tech founder.

He co-founded codecentric and later Instana, which was acquired by IBM in 2020 in a $500M exit.
Then he started again from zero.

In 2023, Mirko co-founded Dash0. In March 2026, the company raised a $110M Series B at a $1B valuation, making Dash0 a unicorn.
In other words, Mirko has built companies through very different stages - from zero, through hypergrowth and fundraising, all the way to acquisition... and then started all over again.

In Munich, he'll talk about exactly that:

🎤 From Zero to $30M ARR in 3y: The Founder’s Playbook for Hypergrowth

This is not a theoretical startup talk. It is about what actually happens when you build fast.
