Before the main event begins, we open with Day 0 (Nov 17), a full extra day designed to bring the right people together from the very start. Here’s what’s waiting:
Day 0 for Founders
A highly curated program to match startups with the right peers and investors based on their growth stage. Divided into four events:
🔹 Sauna & Ice Dipping. Back by popular demand. The most Finnish way to connect early-stage founders and investors.
🔹 Hardware Foundry. The gathering place for hardware founders and investors. Expect a focused stage program, pre-booked meetings, and a setup designed to maximize your time.
🔹 Founder Dawn. Built for first-time founders to get practical advice and meet peers who are also figuring it all out.
🔹 Founders Party. Enjoy the evening with fellow founders and get excited for the Slush days ahead.
Investor Day
A dedicated experience for investors, featuring:
🔹 A focused stage program featuring VCs and LPs backing the companies that are defining what’s next
🔹 Curated roundtables with top VCs, including a new on-demand format
🔹 LP x GP speed dating
🔹 A Meeting Area holding 1,000+ pre-booked meetings between leading VCs, LPs, and angels.
