Slush

Over the last few months, we’ve tried to figure out a way to let the world know the answer to the age-old question: why does Slush exist? We put together this video in pursuit of this question. Perhaps it’s just in the basics: the investments, the meetings, the community. Perhaps it’s more than that. This is Why Slush Exists.

Nik Storonsky rewrote the playbook by quantifying everything. From the top down, everything is measured and optimized. The result? A high-performance culture that has turned Revolut into Europe’s most valuable private tech company worth $45 billion and a spinout factory for founders. Its alumni have gone on to build startups like LiveFlow, Bleap, Tilt, Fuse Energy, and Solvo, to name a few. So, is this what happens when you build a system to filter and encourage top talent? And if it works at Revolut, could it be the blueprint for others? Join the discussion and pre-register for Slush 👉 https://lnkd.in/dit7yNWV

This is your chance to help your fellow founders. The European startup ecosystem is evolving rapidly, and we need to solve the key challenges founders face. 🌟 If you are a founder, know a founder, or have invested in founders, help us share the second edition of our Startup Struggle Survey, and get a chance to win two free Startup tickets for Slush 2025. Last year, 1k+ startups told us that fundraising, customer acquisition and growth were their biggest challenges. We built Slush 2024 to remedy these challenges: more investors for funding opportunities, more Startup Booths for visibility, and curated side events catered towards scaling and growth. This year we're doubling down. Let's make Europe the best place to build and scale companies. Link to the survey in the comments below.

It's time to relive the "World Series of startups," or more commonly know as Slush 2024. This is one of our favorite moments of the year—getting to experience, once again, the magic we spent all of last year building. See what founders, operators and investors from companies like OpenAI, Andreessen Horowitz, Figma, Twitch, and ElevenLabs had to say about Slush. Slush 2024 was a call for radical transformation, and this is how we chose to capture it. Mark your calendar for the next chapter: Slush 2025 on Nov 19–20 in Helsinki.
