More about slush
What sets Slush apart from other tech events?
Slush brings together the people who matter most for early-stage startups. We prioritize relevance over scale and spark meaningful connections through 1-on-1 meetings and serendipitous encounters. From stage talks to closed-door sessions, every moment delivers tangible value and practical advice for founders.
What countries are represented at Slush?
Startups from 70+ countries attend Slush, but the core is European—over 80% of attendees come from the Nordics, UK, DACH, France & Benelux, CEE, and Southern Europe. We also gather top venture capitalists from across Europe and the US.
What industries are represented at Slush?
Slush is industry-agnostic and built for early-stage tech founders. Attending startups span 50+ sectors, with SaaS, healthtech, fintech, AI, gaming, deeptech, medtech, energy, edtech, and manufacturing leading the pack.
I don't usually attend large-scale events, how is Slush different?
Slush may be big, but it’s built to feel personal. We curate every part of the experience to spark meaningful encounters—from hundreds of gatherings during the Slush Week to the main event itself. The person you bump into might just become your next investor.
