Back in the game!
This fall, we’re touring 16 cities in search for the most promising teams mainly from the Nordics, the Baltics, Eastern Europe and Russia to join our intensive 5-week accelerator program held in Helsinki, Finland ending with a big bang on Demo Day at Slush.
We’re loading the plane with Startup Sauna coaches, who are serial entrepreneurs and investors, to help the local startup ecosystems and deliver honest (& brutal) feedback for startups alongside local experts. In each city, we’re holding a free, one-day local event where startups get to pitch and the best get a chance at being shortlisted for Startup Sauna, i.e. making it through to the next round woohooo!
