SLUSH 2025 - The Premier Meeting Point for Entrepreneurs, Tech Talent, and Global Investors

Slush brings on stage the most successful founders, investors, and ecosystem players to share tangible advice on building generational companies. Slush is a not-for-profit organization on a mission to help and create founders to change the world. Based in Helsinki, Slush annually hosts the world’s leading startup event bringing together a curated crowd of European startups, world-class investors, and tech journalists. We stand by relevance over scale, bringing tangible value, and sharing actionable company-building advice. No fluff. In addition to our event, we serve founders and investors with a year-round online community and matchmaking platform, Slush Online, and support nascent startup ecosystems globally to build their own local events through Slush’D. Slush is owned by the Startup Foundation, a Finnish not-for-profit working towards strengthening the Finnish startup ecosystem. Most of any profits made by Slush go back to the foundation which uses it to support other ecosystem initiatives. Slush is run by a group of students and recent graduates, and our main event is made possible every year with the help of 1,600 volunteers. We believe entrepreneurship is the most efficient way to change the world at scale. We need more builders. However, at the same time, we know that building companies is hard. Therefore, our role is three-fold: inspire, help, and collide. We aim to inspire the current and future generations to solve hard and complex challenges through entrepreneurship. We want to help these people to build impactful and durable companies. We ensure that the people building and enabling the success of such companies collide. In other words, we want to create and help founders to change the world.
