PROGRAM PHILOSOPHY

Slush’s mission is to create and help founders to change the world. Accordingly, our program’s mission is to inspire and educate founders.

Our four stages host the most iconic founders, investors, and operators. We don’t pay anyone to speak (nor do we get paid) and are laser-focused on company-building advice.

Check out our whitepaper Entreprenurship Redefined to learn more about the values that shape our program.
