“Slush Online is a great source for exploring and meeting promising early-stage startups. There is a constant flow of new startups, which means I regularly encounter new teams that fit within my scope. I can quickly scan the rich data on new startups using the Startup Database and contact relevant founders. The monthly Matchmaking Sprints allow me to consistently meet interesting founders, many of whom I have followed up with after our conversations.”

“I use the Startup Database to source new dealflow. There are many cool startups that are signing up to the platform every day and it's easy to schedule meetings with them. It’s easy to filter to see only startups relevant to my scope, and get email notifications for new teams that join or when startups update their profiles.
I've also met many great founders during the Matchmaking Sprints, and often continued discussions after the initial meetings.”

“I use the Startup Database to quickly scan and find startups I wouldn't see elsewhere. The startups report their own information, so I'm able to trust that it's accurate. It's also just useful to see information I wouldn't get through our other sourcing tools, like pitch decks or runway.”

“Slush Online has been great for discovering interesting startups and making new connections with founders. Thanks to the Slush brand, the platform covers a broad range of startups, allowing me to filter and find the most relevant founders for us.

What's unique about the Startup Database is that they have much richer data on startups I wouldn't really get anywhere else—like KPIs, revenue metrics, previous investors, and employees.

To me, it's a way to make the great connections I get at Slush, but also outside the event.”

“The Startup Database and monthly Matchmaking Sprints give us year-round access to the most daring early-stage founders in our target markets. With the Startup Database, we can source from thousands of startups, track the most promising ones, receive monthly progress updates, and engage with founders months in advance of the Slush main event, instead of just a week prior.

The Matchmaking Sprints are a game-changer. They facilitate targeted, high-quality meetings with the most promising founders. It's like having a monthly Demo Day tailored precisely to our investment criteria.”
