“1,000 meetings per hour” – This is what Slush is like in Helsinki

For years, Slush has attracted founders, investors, and tech enthusiasts from all over the world to wintry Finland – and it doesn't skimp on superlatives. This year, the organizers proudly declared the startup fair the "largest gathering of venture capital on the planet."

This year, the 13,000 visitors to Slush include around 5,000 startups and 3,000 investors – and thus even more founders and investors than in 2022. According to the organizers, a total of over 20,000 meetings were booked between both parties via the Slush platform, which translates to approximately 1,000 conversations per hour. The investors on site combined over three trillion dollars in assets, making the event the largest gathering of venture capital on the planet. (Photo: Munich Startup)
