MATCHMAKING SPRINTS

Slush Matchmaking Sprints connect founders with relevant investors every month on the Slush Platform.

If investors pick you, meetings happen on Wednesdays between 5:00–7:15 PM.

To join:
1. Create a company profile. Follow Sequoia’s Writing a Business Plan. Be clear on what you’re building, who it’s for, and why it matters. Avoid common mistakes: no pitch deck, profile pic or logo, unclear or AI-written text, wrong financial units, or a bio that’s too long or too short.
2. Get approved (usually <48h)
3. Click Apply now on the home page

Founder applications open 4 weeks before each Sprint.
