We’ve recruited a killer line-up of Main Stage speakers — tech luminaries, business legends and game-changing investors — to share their perspective, experience and insight. Here’s a quick peek at what we have in store for you — and be sure to take a gander at the Disrupt Berlin agenda:

• Kaidi Ruusalepp, founder and CEO of Funderbeam, will discuss how her company’s shaking up the traditional startup funding model by using a marketplace approach, a modern syndication system and a blockchain-based platform.
• Pieter van der Does, CEO of payments company Adyen, will share how the startup quietly built its empire and took a profitable company public.
• Denys Zhadanov, VP at Readdle, will talk about the mobile app company’s bootstrapped success — 100 million downloads and counting.
