It's no coincidence that Linux, MySQL, Skype, and Spotify were all developed in this small, frozen region on the far edge of the world.

Here’s a game-changer that’ll take your Slush Week to a whole new level.

In November, 600+ Side Events will take over Helsinki, and now you can explore them all in one place. That's right, our Side Event Tool is live.

Pick your side quests, add them to your agenda, and sync them straight to your calendar.

Feeling extra adventurous? Take matters into your own hands and host events yourself.

But be quick. Most Side Events have limited capacity, and the spots fill up fast.

Every year, a team of 1,800 volunteers steps in and makes Slush happen.

Now’s your chance to become one of them.

As a Volunteer, you’ll get hands-on experience shaping the world’s most founder-focused event. As a Volunteer Lead, you’ll recruit, train, and guide your own team.

Beyond the tasks, you’ll get a front-row seat to the startup ecosystem, meeting founders, investors, and builders while learning what it takes to create something this ambitious from the inside out. Plus, you’ll join a community of people who are just as curious and excited to build something new as you are.

Up for it? Check out the roles and apply by Sep 3 👉 link in bio.

Earlier this month, Casimir from the Slush Team was in San Francisco to host Builders Circle together with ICONIQ.

The event brought together an inspiring mix of early-stage founders from current and former Y Combinator batches.

We talked about how AI agents are changing the way engineers write software, how startups are moving faster than ever, and how younger founders are building increasingly ambitious companies.

And while the future of tech was at the center of every discussion, those conversations also reinforced something that doesn't change: some of the best ideas and opportunities spark when ambitious people gather in the same room.

A big thank you to the ICONIQ team for hosting us, and to Kashish Gupta for an insightful founder discussion and Q&A 💚

These conversations are sure to continue at Slush. Grab your ticket to be a part of them 👉 link in bio.

Every year, Slush x RAISE brings together some of Europe's most promising emerging managers and top LPs.

But who decides which of them get the spotlight?

Each application is reviewed by two LPs from the selection committee, which includes Funds of funds, University Endowments, Family Offices, and Foundations & Asset Managers.

The 20 chosen managers get to pitch on stage in front of 150+ LPs and join an invite-only dinner with the committee.

If you're raising Fund I, II, or III and investing in Europe, we'd love to hear from you.
