Slush 2021 will see 2,200 investors in Helsinki

4,200 startup founders and operators and 2,200 investors are expected to join Slush this year. A group of investors has close to a trillion of growth capital. There will be one investor per startup in Helsinki during Slush, according to a startup founder. Eerika Savolainen, CEO of Slush, said there is no better place for startups to raise funding.

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

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

Slush's mission is to help and create entrepreneurs to 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 focus on the early-stage startup founders and their needs in Savolainen states.

Slush is a non-for profit movement that has a mission to create and help people change the world. On May 25, 2022, ticket sales start.
