In 2015, Slush brought together 15.000 attendees, including 1.700 startups, 800 venture capital investors and 630 journalists from exactly 100 countries. People from more than half of the world’s countries traveled to the cold and dark Helsinki, with the ambition of taking their business to the next level.
Slush is a nonprofit event organized by a community of entrepreneurs, investors, students and festival organizers. Although Slush has grown from a 300person event to become one of the leading events of its kind in the world, the philosophy behind it has remained the same: to help the next generation of great, worldconquering companies forward.
