That’s how better products and experiences are created – ones that are accessible to all.

Leadership, passion, and discipline – learned on the basketball court, applied in the product world. In their early twenties, brothers Ruben and Joshua Dahmen from Iserlohn founded their first company. With THE ARC, they’re building a studio that unites brand, product and company building, always hands-on and solution-driven.
Rooted in Germany’s Mittelstand, they understood early on: successful businesses need more than strategy. They need new perspectives, bold impulses, and interdisciplinary, high-performing teams. That’s exactly the gap THE ARC fills – combining design, technology and strategic expertise to create real market relevance, especially for the German Mittelstand and startups.
Today, THE ARC continues to grow. With Deniz Rüzgar Sinoplu as Managing Partner - Products & Ventures and Katie Hume as Chief of Staff, the leadership team is expanding with a clear, shared vision.
A talented team of strategists, designers and engineers.
A culture built on creativity, trust and shared ownership.
A global studio with local roots.
Whether we’re in our Berlin / Dortmund office or our co-working space in Barcelona – THE ARC is wherever we create.
