Stage Program FAqs

What is Slush's philosphy for curating stage program ?

Through our stage programs, we support our mission to help and create founders to change the world. Our stages primarily feature the most accomplished founders and operators, sharing candid, no-nonsense insights on building high-growth, enduring companies.

Each stage has a distinct purpose—whether it’s spotlighting early-stage founders, unpacking the startup and tech landscape, sharing company-building advice, or diving into raw founder journeys.

As a not-for-profit, we don’t pay speakers, and they don’t pay us.

How do I suggest a speaker for Slush 2026?

Suggest a speaker using the following link.

Our selection process centers on one question: What aspect of company-building is this person uniquely qualified to speak on?

We feature experienced founders—often behind unicorns—who share real stories and offer candid, practical advice.
