One of the world's largest VC and startup gatherings. 13,000+ attendees creating an unmatched density of venture capital investors, entrepreneurs, and technology ecosystem participants.

Why fund managers attend

Scale and energy. 13,000+ attendees create serendipitous connections impossible at smaller events. While primarily a startup/VC event, the LP segment (fund of funds, family offices, corporate VCs) is substantial and growing.

Preparation tips for fund managers

  • Slush's side events (investor-only dinners, LP meetups) are where the real fundraising happens
  • The main event is massive - use the Slush app to pre-schedule meetings
  • Helsinki in November is cold and dark - pack accordingly, but the energy compensates
