About Slush
Slush is a student-driven, not-for-profit movement originally founded to change attitudes toward entrepreneurship.
Slush is best known for its annual startup and tech event in Helsinki, Finland. In the event Slush facilitates meetings between the founders of startups and investors such as venture capitalists, accomplished with events such as matchmaking and pitching competitions, like the Slush 100.
Slush has grown from a single gathering in Helsinki to a series of events organized all around the world. The Slush team throws bigger events in Finland, and China, and smaller get-togethers around the globe, from Singapore to NYC. In 2019, Slush started producing a startup media called Soaked by Slush.
