Slush 2021 brings together 2,200 investors

4,200 startup founders and operators and 2,200 investors are expected to join Slush this year. This group of investors has around a trillion of growth capital in their possession. This means that there will be one investor per startup in Helsinki during Slush. There is no better place for startups to raise funding, says Eerika Savolainen, CEO of Slush.

The stage program will feature top-level speakers from around the world, such as legendary Venture Capital investor Doug Leone, who has led the private equity firm Sequoia for more than 20 years, Loreanne Garcia, the founder of Kavak, one of Latin America's most successful growth companies, and Nikolay Storonsky, founder of financial superapp Revolut. More than 150 speakers and moderators will be on the program over the two days, according to Slush.

Slush stages will host the well-known Slush 100 pitching competition, as well as Builders' Studio, a new highly popular stage concept from Slush 2021 that unpacks a startup's journey from idea to exit. During the Slush week, 200 side events will be held around Helsinki.

Slush's mission is to create entrepreneurs who can change the world. In the coming years, Slush will focus on growing in relevance rather than in scale, both in terms of traffic and content. We always focus on early-stage startup founders and their needs in Savolainen states.

Slush is a not-for profit movement that has a mission to create and help people change the world. Public ticket sales start on May 25, 2022.
